| I seem to remember there was a ChkEMail function (or something similar) in inc_func_common.asp. It would be a good place to start...< |

| AnonJr: I have had a look through inc_func_common and can not see an email validity check routine. Like you say, I am sure there is a routine, somewhere within the forum, to meet leatherlips requirement. Any further ideas please..< |

Posted sometime ago as a security fix replacement for an existing function in inc_func_member.asp:
function EmailField(fTestString)
set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Global = true
regEx.IgnoreCase = true
regEx.Pattern = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@(?:[A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$"
retVal = regEx.Test(fTestString)
set regEx = nothing
if Not retVal Then
EmailField = 0
Else
EmailField = 1
end if
end function

Is there an easy way to link this function Emailfield to my input field:
response.write " <input type=""text"" style=""background-color:#F5FBF1"" name=""frommail"" size=""50"">" & vbNewLine
I have added the function to my inc_func_common and can not see how to tie the functionality together with appropriate error message to be displayed - if a user inputs a wrong email string format
The code I have on the form preview is:
frommail = trim(chkString(request.form("frommail"),"SQLString"))
if frommail ="" then strError = strError & "Please enter your email address!<br>" 'checking for blank email field
if (InStr(Request("tomail"), "@") = 0 or InStr(Request("frommail"), "@") = 0) then strError = strError & "Enter an e-mail address in the form username@domain.co.uk<br></font>"
But is a user puts an email in this format humbug@xmas the routine passes, (that is the code I have)
Thank you andy

The function should replace the existing EmailField function in inc_func_member.asp so you will also need to include inc_func_member.asp
you would then use it like so
if EmailField(frommail) = 1 then
'we passed so do stuff :)
else
'we failed so error
end if< |

I currently do not have access to my forum files, but following Huwrs input, would this work:
if EmailField(frommail) = 0 then strError = strError & "Enter an e-mail address in the form username@domain.co.uk<br></font>"
...
..
end if (later)
I have gone for the =0 as all the other error messages have a link underneath to return to input form.< |

No problem . This is not a complete solution, even if it should be fine for "normal" use.< |

here is better one , the one posted above does not accept all the valid characters for an email address, the one below should.
