I tried this with no better results...
But i did figure out what was going on....
if(eregi("^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\
..)|(([ a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$", $email)){
// In here was a redirect function... the redirect was being called but the
script after this "if" was continuing to be processed.
Redirect(page.php);
// Adding the Die(); here stopped the script.
die();
}
Thanks for your help !!
