There is some code which prohibits submitting incorrect emails

CODE

if (!eregi("^([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $_POST['email'])) {
die("Такого e-mail не может быть!");
}

Sometimes if it is necessary to prohibit submitting e-mails from one particular server, for example @something.com

I'm not sure with my code, please help me to fix it.

CODE

if (eregi("^([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@([something.com]+)(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $_POST['email'])) {
die("@something.com is not valid server!");
}

I guess this could work just fine:

CODE

if (preg_match("/@something\.com/i",$_POST['email'])) {
die ('@something.com is not valid server!');
}

Or, if you'd like to keep a list of several prohibited domain names, you could match them in an array - like this:

CODE

if (preg_match("/@(something\.com|whatever\.com|qwerty\.net)/i",$_POST['email'],$match)) {

die ($match[0] . ' is not a valid server!');

}
