I have a registration form (not php-fusion related) that requires an email address. The problem I am having is that if the email address contains a period (.), there is an error that states it is not a valid address and the form is not submitted. The code in the validate.js file that is part of the registration form is as follows:


Code Download source
function isEmail(field, ErrorMsg) {
   var strMsg = ""; 
   var chAt = '@'; 
   var chDot = '.'; 
   var strEmailAddr = trim(field.value);
    if (strEmailAddr.length == 0) return true;
    if (strEmailAddr.indexOf(" ") == -1)
    {
    var iFirstAtPos = strEmailAddr.indexOf(chAt);
    var iLastAtPos = strEmailAddr.lastIndexOf(chAt);
    if (iFirstAtPos > 0 && iFirstAtPos < (strEmailAddr.length - 1) &&iFirstAtPos == iLastAtPos) {
       // look for '.' there must be at least one char between '@' and '.'
       var iDotPos = strEmailAddr.indexOf(chDot, iFirstAtPos + 1);
       if (iDotPos > (iFirstAtPos + 1) && iDotPos < (strEmailAddr.length -1)) return true;
    }
    }
    alert(ErrorMsg);
    field.focus();
    return false;
}


The code that processes the registration form also has the following code:

Code Download source
echo "<center><br><br><span style='font-size:16px; color:#840000;'><b>".$emailError."<a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Go Back and Redo!</a></b></span></center>\n";
exit;
} else if(!preg_match("/^[\w-]+[@]+[a-z]+\.+[a-z]*$/", $_POST['email'])) {
   //} else if(!preg_match("/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $_POST['email'])) {
      $emailError = "Invalid email format. ";
      $email ="";
echo "<center><br><br><span style='font-size:16px; color:#840000;'><b>".$emailError."<a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Go Back and Redo!</a></b></span></center>\n";
exit;


What code needs to be adjusted and in which file does it need to be adjusted to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

Code Download source
$re = '/[\w-.]+[@]+[a-z]+\.+[a-z]*/m';
$str = 'gmail.gmail.com@gmail.com
';

preg_match_all($re, $str, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER, 0);

// Print the entire match result
var_dump($matches);
