Title: User registration - invalid email
Post by: Lynn on February 09, 2004, 06:12:55 AM

Hi all,

I've got a small problem regarding the user registration system. Here at the University of Washington all our email addresses end in @u.washington.edu, which does not seem to sit well with Coppermine. It's been spewing "Email address invalid" errors at anyone who registers with their UW address.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to rectify this?

Thanks!

the regular expression that does email validation apparently needs a redo, since it requires the alpha-numerical bits after the @ to be at least 2 characters long. Edit register.php and search for

Code Select

    if (!eregi("^[_\.0-9a-z\-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$", $email)) $error .= '<li>' . $lang_register_php['err_invalid_email'];

and replace with

Code Select

    if (!eregi("^[\'+\\./0-9A-Z^_\`a-z{|}~\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+){1,3}$", $email)) $error .= '<li>' . $lang_register_php['err_invalid_email'];

. There are tons of regular expressions out there that are recommended to check valid emails...
