How do i get the email address from the line below using a regex using
eregi_replace or something similar in php?

"Name" <user@example.com>

Thanks.

With very simple validating (only checking for something@something):

if(preg_match('/<([^>@]+@[^>@]+)>/',$string,$matches)){
$email = $matches[1];
}
