How to validate email addresses in PHP
This regex will match email adresses. However, it’s not bulletproof. Emails such as n@n.n or ____@--... would still pass validation.
/^([a-z0-9_\.\+-]+)@([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})$/
If you are using PHP, you can also use filter_var() and save yourself some headaches. As illustrated here, it correctly validates most addresses.
filter_var('test@test.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL); //Returns true if email is valid, false otherwise
