Hey all,
I am in need of a regex solution to solve a problem within a database textfile I have.

I load the data file into $str via file_get_contents. What I now need to do is replace all instances of "@gmail" with "@gmail.com". However, it is not so simple because certain entries in the database have "@gmail.com" already, so for these entries, it becomes "@gmail.com.com" (obviously a problem). I think the solution is a regex with a boundary however I just am lost when it comes to this stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
BP

That $ should be enough to assert that the pattern must match the very end of the string and ignore anything like @gmail.whatever

I'd test this on a backup though if you have doubts...
