For instance, you shouldn't use stripslashes() unless magic_quotes_gpc is enabled (which is shouldn't be). Additionally, the code doesn't check to see if the elements of the $_POST array are actually set before testing them. It also uses the deprecated function eregi(), and the test fails several valid email addresses while rejecting many valid ones. Not a very good example at all, IMHO. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry Stuckle JDS Computer Training Corp. jstucklex@attglobal.net ==================
