[pmwiki-users] test email adress

[DaveG]

Checking for a valid email address can get very complex, to accommodate 
all scenarios. Here's what I use:

function bi_IsEmail($e){
	return (bool)preg_match(
	 
"/^[-_a-z0-9\'+*$^&%=~!?{}]++(?:\.[-_a-z0-9\'+*$^&%=~!?{}]+)*+@(?:(?![-.])[-a-z0-9.]+(?<![-.])\.[a-z]{2,6}|\d{1,3}(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?::\d++)?$/iD"
		,$e);
}
