in reply to regex to validate e-mail addresses and phone numbers

The e-mail portion is answered above. For phone numbers, you need to get more information. Do you only need to validate phone numbers in your country, or for the whole planet? What form are phone numbers in your country? Do you need to handle extentions? Do you need to handle area codes? Will the user be forced to enter numbers in a certain format? Do you need to handle areas that have a four-digit exchange instead of three (US phone companies are moving that direction)? These questions (and probably some others I can't think of right now) need to be answered before a regex can be developed.
