I would like to see an example of the filter_var() used to validate an email address in register.php from Chapter 8 Review and Pursue. I've tried a million things but it's not catching errors correctly so I think my IF conditional is off.
// original code for email validation:
if (empty($_POST['email']) || (substr_count($_POST['email'], '@') != 1) ) {
$problem = TRUE;
print '<p class="error">Please enter your email address!</p>';
