Email validation issue

[webguy262]

Trying to test the site for registration of a customer and I'm having a problem with email valifdation.

The error I'm getting on the form is...

"Your E-Mail Address does not appear to be valid - please make any necessary corrections. "

Since Email address is a required field, I'm stuck.

The warning at the top of the page is...

Warning: REG_EMPTY in /home/virtual/site153/fst/var/www/html/oscommerce/includes/functions/validations.php on line 97

And the error I'm getting on the form is...

"Your E-Mail Address does not appear to be valid - please make any necessary corrections. "

No valid emails get past the warning.

Code from that page is below...with line 97 marked.

Thoughts?
