Block aol from sign up

[Maller]

Hey i have this problem with AOL, so i desided to block people with aol.com email addresses, but i cant quite get it to work, this is what i have.

<?php
$email_address = "[e-mail]";

function isaol($email_address)
{
if (strpos("aol.com", $email_address))
return true;
else
return false;
  }
if(isaol($email_address))
{
echo "Sorry but AOL has been blocked from our servers";
exit();
}
?>

the problem is that i dosent see that the email is a @aol address, can some one help me out ?

Might want to double check the manual. strpos takes the string to search in as the first parameter.

Oh, and it's generally considered a good idea to test with " !== false" instead of just checking for true or false, because strpos can return 0. Probably not a problem for email address, but still a good habit to be in.
