Bug->Req #55865 [Opn]: email cyrillic symbols contains are not valid at filter_var function

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55865&edit=1 ID: 55865 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: mitallast at gmail dot com Summary: email cyrillic symbols contains are not valid at filter_var function Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: *Mail Related +Package: Filter related Operating System: nix*, mac PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Actually, this is not a bug, because the documentation[1] states: | In general, this validates e-mail addresses against the syntax | in RFC 822, [...] However, IDNs are not allowed by RFC 822, let alone local parts with non ASCII characters; these are subject of RFC 6530-6533. Therefore I'm switching to feature request, and do not mark this ticket as duplicate of request #39469, because that request is only about IDN support.

Function must be refactored. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.%D1%80%D1%84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-25 09:03:08] enderstd at gmail dot com I think this behaviour is all right. There is a punycode form for IDN domains, and filter_var undestands it well enough, yet not without some issues. But I think punycode is way to go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode And by the way, "тест@тест.рф" is invalid email anyway, because mailbox can't contain IDN characters, I think it violates some basic SMTP RFC. Valid domain would be like "test@тест.рф". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-07 15:02:43] mitallast at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Php contains filter_var function with predefined constaint FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL.
