Email and phone number validation with PHP
August 13, 2009, 12:45 pm - By: Chad Halvorson
Validating email and phone number's is a constant requirement with web forms. Here are the two functions we use for validating email and phone numbers with PHP.
function email_valid($email) {
if (eregi( " ^[a-z0-9._-]+@[a-z0-9._-]+.[a-z]{2,6}$ " , $email))
{ return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; }
}
function phone_valid($phone) {
if (eregi( " ^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$ " , $phone))
{ return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; }
}
Phone numbers must be xxx-xxx-xxxx
Email addresses must be email addresses
Packaging: Final Cut Studio

As if today's arrival of Final Cut 7 wasn't cool enough....
Today, Chad bestowed the new Final Cut Studio upon us. And much to my delight, Apple granted one of the biggest "wants" I've had for FCP since I started using the software, and it has nothing to do with the software itself.
I'm excited to say that Apple has drastically cut down on their packaging. Now, instead of a large, heavy, cumbersome box full of manuals; —you are greeted with a slim, sleek, lightweight little box. Sweet. It's not that I'm against reading manuals, it's just that as a production company, we may order 3-4 licenses of every upgrade. Having a billion sets of all those manuals is just plain overkill. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of paper being wasted. Plus, with the software shelf being well above my shortness, reaching for the new Final Cut Pro Studio will now be a much more pleasant experience. Thank you Apple.
