[RESOLVED] email validation not working

[kiwibrit]

I have a simle form for the sender's name, email, and comments.

I am attempting to validate for the name and comment fields having some content - and the email being valid, as follows:

if (empty($Name) || empty($Comments)) {
if(!eregi("^[_\.0-9a-zA-Z-]+@([0-9a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$", $email)) {
   header( "Location: $errorurl" );
   exit ;
}}

The content checking for name and comments work fine. But anything gets through for the email. What am I doing wrong?

you're only running the eregi line if name or comments is EMPTY. Try this:

if (empty($Name) || empty($Comments)) {
   header( "Location: $errorurl" );
   exit ;
} elseif(!eregi("^[_\.0-9a-zA-Z-]+@([0-9a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$", $email)) {
   header( "Location: $errorurl" );
   exit ;
}

I see the logic in that, and it works.

Many thanks.
