    Try:

    function is_email($str){
	return preg_match("/^[a-z0-9,!#\$%&'\*\+\/=\?\^_`\{\|}~-]+(\.[a-z0-9,!#\$%&'\*\+\/=\?\^_`\{\|}~-]+)*@([a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+([a-z]{2}|com|org|net|gov|mil|biz|tel|info|mobi|name|aero|jobs|museum)$/",$str);
}
    PHP:
    The email will have to be lowercase as well so make sure you pass it through strtolower() first.
