A Perl-based regex should be inside the delimiters... "/your regex here/"... the deprecated POSIX regex were the one which did not require any delimiter... For example, ereg(").

You must add delimiters to your regex:
if (preg_match('/' . $mail_pat . '/', $email, $components)) {
$mail_pat starts with a ^, but it ends with another character, which causes the error since there aren't any matching delimiters.
