Works for me.
Your function returns false if the filter_var check fails or the checkdnsrr check fails. You need to
figure out which is happening.
And the PHP version is not irrelevant. What are you using?

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/filter.examples.validation
---
It seems that the filter_var() function doesn't quite work for all emails, at least not
consistently.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
function domainExists($email) {
if(filter_var($email,FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
list($user, $domain) = explode('@', $email);
if(checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX')) {
return TRUE;
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
}
$rm = 'jane_doe@hotmail.com';
if(domainExists($rm) === TRUE) {
echo '<p>It worked!</p>';
}
else {
echo '<p>It didn\'t work!</p>';
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I expect the function in the test/sample script to return true and echo '<p>It
worked!</p>'.
Actual result:
--------------
The actual result is '<p>It didn\'t work!</p>'.
