This horrendous regular expression will parse a string and return a valid email address from it. $email = “<’Freddy’> fred@live.com”; preg_match(‘/[a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?/’, $email, $match); echo $match[0]; This will return: fred@live.com Basically, if you pass an array as the third parameter of the preg_match method, it will be filled with the preg_match results, and the first item of the
