newbie on IF: Why does this not work?

Hi everyone,

Please help.

Why doesn't this work?

If email1=email2 and be a email address (via regex) then goto
"enter_dob.php". If not or not then goto reenter_email.php.

Thanks,

Raj

<?php
if (empty($_SESSION['site_name']))
{
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: start.php");
}

if (empty($_SESSION['site_logo_location']))
{
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: start.php");
}

if (empty($_SESSION['site_admin_email']))
{
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: start.php");
}

$_SESSION['email']=$_POST['email1'];

$pattern="(\w+\.)*\w+@(\w+\.)+[A-Za-z]+";
if (!preg_match($pattern, $_SESSION['email']))
{
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: reenter_email.php");
}

if ($_POST['email1']==$_POST['email2'])
{
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: enter_dob.php");
}
else
{
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: reenter_email.php");
}
?>

I mean it goes to "enter_dob.php" whatever I input.

That regular expression is useless.
If you want it to be compliant with rfc822 it should more like the one
