Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php There are no numeric TLDs, the e-mail filters supports IP based e-mail addresses however.

AFAIK, there is no technical justification for this: numeric TLDs just work out of the box as far as the DNS know about them. I suggest that the filter should validate numeric TLDs, or that a FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_NUMTLD be created to alter the default behaviour of the filter. Test script: --------------- filter_var("johndoe@domain.123", FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL) ; // returns false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53722&edit=1
