Re: Mail-id validation script

Now I am doing a project using PHP, in that I created a form. That form has a field called e-mailid, to validate that I need a script (function), whether I have to write it in the server side or client side, which one is better?. I need your suggestions, If any script is there plz send it to me.

If I was creating such a script I would validate it both on the client-side and the server-side. The reason for this is that client-side validation can be fooled, but server-side validation requires a round-trip to the server. If you validate on the client-side you will save your users time as errors will be detected without a trip to the server, but you still need to validate on the server-side to ensure that they haven't bypassed the client-side validation in any way. As far as an actual script goes, either read the relevant RFC for email addresses at [1], or just Google for PHP email validation [2].
