please consider using the preg_*() functions instead of the posix based
regexp funcs; read here to get a feel of why the preg_*() funcs are 'better':

	http://php.net/manual/en/ref.regex.php

also you could shorten the function a little like so;

function check_email($address) {
	return (boolean) ereg('^[a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$',$address);
}

$keclass is not an object. you need to do something like this
before you use $keclass (where 'YourClass' is the name of your class):

$keclass = new YourClass;
