Help with syntax - if domain name exists

[affiliateian@gmail.com]

I am pretty new to php. Can anyone tell me what the proper syntax is
for checking a particular domain from a web form? For instance, I am
looking for an if statement that accomplishes this:

if ($domain=*.mydo main.com)

For some reason, can't get the proper syntax so that sciprt will take.
Thoughts?

try:

if (fnmatch("*,myd omain.com", $domain)) {

That should read

if (fnmatch("*.myd omain.com", $domain)) {


Note that php.net says:

"For now this function is not available on Windows or other non-POSIX
compliant systems."

so if you're on such a system, you may need a more general solution:

if (preg_match('/\.mydomain.com$/', $domain)) {

which will match any string ending ".mydomain.com" .
