PHP Tutorial : Valid email checking script

Hi,
Do you have any newsletters, contact forms or other pages where you require an email address ? If so, did you ever thought that someone might type “asd”, “452″ and other dummy words instead of a valid email address? Huh, for that I built an email validation script which checks for those things.

<?php
function validMail ($email,$link) {
	if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9_]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.[a-z\-\.]+$",$email)) {
		print "Email address appears to be invalid<br />";
		print "Go back <a href=\"$link\" title=\"inapoi\">click aici</a>";
		exit();
	}
}
?>

You will need to pass two arguments :
1) $email field
2) $link to go back if email is invalid
Right like here

<?php
$email = "abcdef";

validMail($email, "complete-form.php");
?>
