if/else statements and stuff.
OK, I'm having trouble displaying the correct message. This is my statement:
if ($email=~/[^A-Za-z0-9-_\.\@]/) {
print "Ya screwed up buddy. It appears that you have some invalided characters in your address. Please <a href=javascript:history.back>repair<\/a> it.";
} else {
print "Your address has been accepted!";
}
if ($email=~/^([\w-]+[\w-.])*[\w-]+$/) {
print "Proper format is essential when entering an email address. Remember yourname\@yourdomain.com or whatever. Please <a href=javascript:history.back>repair<\/a> it.";
} else {
print "Your address has been accepted!!";
}
Now, let's say someone does enter the correct email format. They get two acceptence sentences. I don't want this. Or if they enter an improper format, they get an accept and a no accept. Any help?

Use elsif and combine the two if clauses.
If(blah){
do blah
} elsif (other-thing){
do other magic
} else {
final else
}

No...more like
if ($email=~/[^A-Za-z0-9-_\.\@]/) {
print "Ya screwed up buddy. It appears that you have some invalided characters in your address. Please <a href=javascript:history.back>repair</a> it.";
} elsif ($email=~/^([\w-]+[\w-.])*[\w-]+$/) {
print "Proper format is essential when entering an email address. Remember yourname\@yourdomain.com or whatever. Please <a href=javascript:history.back>repair</a> it.";
} else {
print "Your address has been accepted!!";
}
