can you please tell How to fix?

 

try to change the first w+ on your rule whith [0-9a-ZA-Z\.\-]+

 

The \w matches all alphanumeric characters and under scores, so no need to replace it. You can just add the \.\- to it.

 

preg_match_all('/(\w+(?:\.\w+)+@\w+(?:\.\w+)+)/', $data, $array);

Something like that oughta do it, right? Just adding the optional dot and optional second string after the dot like after the @ sign.
