Bug #16655 Updated: Function for checking if email-adress is valid

ID: 16655 Updated by: metz@speedpartner.de Reported By: metz@speedpartner.de Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: but isn't it possible to add this function to the "standard repertoir" of php? I think many people will use it and at the moment everyone writes his own "version" of this function. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 10:11:00] jtate@php.net Probably belongs in PEAR not PHP, along with the URL-ize function mentioned in a bug report yesterday (#16642). Now... Which module does it belong in? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 07:19:12] bate@php.net function validEmail($email_adresse) { if (eregi('^[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_a-z{|}~]+'.'@('.'([-!#$%&\'*+\\/0-9=?A-Z^_a-z{|}~]+\.)'.'([-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+$))', $email_adresse, $found)) { if (getmxrr($found[1], $mx_records)) { return $mx_records; } } return false; } this is php function to check an email about validity and existing mx records. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 07:01:32] metz@speedpartner.de There are several reg.exp. around in Internet, but I'd like to see a function which checks if a string is a valid email-adress (is_email or valid_email or so) Here is the regex: ^[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+'.'@('.'([-!#$%&\'*+\\/0 -9=?A-Z^_a-z{|}~]+\.)'.'([-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_a-z{|}~]+$))' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16655&edit=1
