Validate Email address and Phone number using ActionScript

Great little snippet of code for validating an email address and a phone number using ActionScript. I love this little functions you can drop in code and just run with. A link to the post here. I have linked rather than replicate the code as I believe in crediting the original author.

    Link to post does not work. Any way to post this little snippet?

  2. Yeah appears to be down, I’ll post the code here that I found in a cache, if the original poster is unhappy about it just let me know and I’ll remove it. Probably just a temporary server problem their end or something like that.

    Email Validation:

    function validateEmail(email:String):Boolean {
    var emailExpression:RegExp = /^[a-z][w.-]+@w[w.-]+.[w.-]*[a-z][a-z]$/i;
    return ! emailExpression.test(email);
    }

    Phone Validation:

    function validatePhone(phone:String):Boolean {
    var emailExpression:RegExp = /^((+d{1,3}(-| )’(‘d)’(-| )’d{1,3})|((’d{2,3})’))(-| )’(d{3,4})(-| )’(d{4})(( x| ext)d{1,5}){0,1}$/i;
    return ! emailExpression.test(phone);
    }
