A regex to validate an email

Question

I need to validate and email address when someone signs up.it should be something like 1234567@burnswin.edu.au

7 numbers @ and last part should be exactly like burnswin.edu.au Please help me with a regular expression.

@ShivanRaptor Not really a duplicate. This question has a stricter definition of a *valid email*. The OP could have at least made an attempt though. — alex, May 20 '13 at 06:31

So `"bla 12345672@burnswin.edu.au bla"` is valid? ;) – alex May 20 '13 at 06:19

In your case, you could use..

$valid = preg_match("/^\d{7}@burnswin\.edu\.au\z/", $userSuppliedStr);

The \d will match 0-9, and the {7} will match 7 of them only.

The ^ matches the start of the string and the \z matches the end of the string.
