An array question???

[cemlouis]

Hi,

I want to get each line of e-mail accounts from my txt file and put them in an array after checking the syntax.

I made a few tries but can't accomplish on that here is my text file look like:

mails.txt

[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]

And here is my code:

<? 
$filename = file("mails.txt"); 

foreach($filename as $line){ 
    $syntax_ok_emails = preg_match('/^[A-z0-9_\-]+\@(A-z0-9_-]+\.)+[A-z]{2,4}$/', $line); 
    if($syntax_ok_emails){ 
        $e_mails[] = $syntax_ok_emails; 
    } 
} 
foreach($e_mails[] as $value){ 
    echo $value; 
} 
?>

preg_match() doesn't return the matches from the regular expression, rather it just returns true or false depending on what happened. You can specify a 3rd parameter which will contain all succesful matches and you should use that when capturing your 'ok' emails.
