A lot of problems in that code. For instance, you shouldn't use
stripslashes() unless magic_quotes_gpc is enabled (which is shouldn't
be). Additionally, the code doesn't check to see if the elements of the
$_POST array are actually set before testing them. It also uses the
deprecated function eregi(), and the test fails several valid email
addresses while rejecting many valid ones.
Not a very good example at all, IMHO.
