Well. something like if (!eregi("^[A-Za-z0-9\_-]+@[A-Za-z0-9\_-]+.[A-Za-z0-9\_-]+.*", $email)) { echo "$email doesn't seem to be a valid e-mail address!"; } would do the job. Of course, that doesn't stop people from entering a false email address. You could do a DNS-lookup to see if the domain-part of the address really exists, too.
