This is the second tutorial in the 'First Footsteps' series and we use the html file we made in the last tutorial to learn how to apply css styles to tags and classes to improve the look of the page. I should warn you now though, what we create today does not look good, it is just an example of how to style in css. Next week I will release a jquery or php tutorial for this series, I'm not sure which one yet, comment if you have a preference.

The following piece of code will help you verify a users email address which they have entered into a form. This is useful to ensure that you do not receive any invalid email addresses, but also so you can alert the user that they have perhaps spelt it wrong.

So while working on another project of mine I found that I needed to verify the email address that the user has submitted. I looked around on the internet and found a very useful piece of code which will do this.


$email = something@yourdomain.com
if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)){
$message = "Your Email address appears to be invalid.";
} else {
$message = "Your Email address appears to be invalid.";
}
?>

This ‘eregi’ function checks if the string inside the email variable follows the structure given. So it makes sure that there are no illegal characters. There is only 1 @ character and the last ‘.’ is at least 2 characters away from the @ character. If you have any other ways of doing this, please comment below.

Another flash tutorial to continue the 'Flash Tools of the Trade' series. This time looking at a new feature in CS4 which I think will help potential designers create some pretty niffty pictures. If you manage to create something really cool with this tool either send it to me or provide a link in the comments below and I'll see if I can post it and put it live for you.

Have you ever needed to have a log in form for your website and wanted to know where the user is from, I have… I’m sure there is an easier way to get about doing this, but I created this XML file, with all of the countries in the world, in alphabetical order. Just include it into a drop down selection box and be on your way.

Any questions or ideas?
