dude,

very cool, probably the nicest i've seen. i'm going to test it out on
the form i'm currently building. here's the one i wrote and have been
using, just for laughs:

/*Missing or incorrectly formatted email address*/
if(empty($senderemail))
{
$errormessage.="Please Provide Your E-Mail Address<br>";
}
else if
(!eregi('^[-a-zA-Z0-9_\.]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$',$senderemail))
{
$errormessage.="Please Provide an E-mail Address in a Valid Format<br>";
}
