Check [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/201323/using-a-regular-expression-to-validate-an-email-address) question. Your email validation is 'optimistic'. Usually it makes no sense to really validate an email. I usually just check for `@` and leave it at that :) — Laoujin, Feb 13 '14 at 12:50

To validate an email in PHP, use PHP's built in filters. See here for full details:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.examples.validation.php

Taken from the above URL, here's an example of how to validate an email:

if (filter_var($email_a, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
  echo "This ($email_a) email address is considered valid.";
}

Applied to your code, this would make your valid_email() function the following:

function valid_email($address) 
  return filter_var($address, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
}
