Regex Not Validating Email Address

Why doesn't this string validate email address?

REGEX: [0-9a-zA-Z]+@[0-9a-zA-Z]+\.[0-9a-zA-Z]+

[0-9a-zA-Z] ------------- Any Valid Character
+ ------------------------- 1 or more Number of Times
@------------------------- Ampersand
[0-9a-zA-Z] ------------ Any Valid Characters
. ------------------------- A dot
[0-9a-zA-Z] ------------- Any Valid Charactes
+ -------------------------- 1 or more number of times

I know this will not work for most emails, but why doesn't it work even for the common ones.

it is intended to work for a structure like:

URL

it's not supposed to work with username@name@host.ext
but it does> HELP!!!

Here is a PCRE exp

Code:
'/^[A-Za-z0-9\._-]+[@][A-Za-z0-9_-]+([.][A-Za-z0-9_-]+)+[A-Za-z]$/'


This should validate pretty good...
