email validation in php

[forum_amnesiac]

I posted earlier that this code stops someone from entering an email address with more than one consecutive full-stop, ie fred.blogs@him.com is OK, fred..blogs@him.com would fail

that cool..
thank you!

Edit: and does anyone know how to get sender i.p address?

It is possible to get the IP address using this code.

$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']; 

You do need to be careful however, in some countries storing a persons IP address or using it for identification purposes, is illegal.

I think Germany is one such country.
