Learing PHP via online couse..but no one to bounce questions off of.
when the form processes it goes to the email verification error even if their is a valid email input. I have had problems with any of the>> !$variable << doing the same thing

Cheers!!

<body>
<?
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9_]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.[a-z0-9\-\.]+$", $email)){
?>
<H2>Whoops</H2>
<BR>
Please Enter a valid email adress.
<A HREF="feedback.html">Click here to go back to the feedback page</A>
<?
exit;
}

$user = addslashes($user);
$email = addslashes($email);
$comments = addslashes($comments);
$db = mysql_connect("localhost");
mysql_select_db("vinyldealers", $db);
$addfeedback = "INSERT INTO feedback(user, email, spam, comments)
VALUES ('$user', '$email', '$spam', '$comments')";
$result = mysql_query($addfeedback);
?>
<H2>Thank You</H2>
<BR>
We have added your comments to our database.
<A HREF="feedback.html">Click here to go back to the feedback page</A>

Did you try escaping the @ symbol in the regular expression test?

this:
$db = mysql_connect("localhost");

usually requires more parameters, specifically the user name and password for the database (at least if the database is mySQL)
