    Hi,

    I'm new to PHP and I seem to be getting some errors with a script I'm using. Here's the error I'm getting:

    Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Empty regular expression in /home/content/23/10513123/html/dodosmail.php on line 41

    Here's line 41 where I'm getting that error:

    if (preg_match("\r",$_POST['your_email_address']) || preg_match("\n",$_POST['your_email_address'])){

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Why PCRE?
    You may use str_replace for this situation.
    http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php#example-4709
    PCRE created for using with variable text.

    you are getting this error because you are giving empty regular expression. you can use some regular expression tool to create and check for valid regular expression.
