Would it not be better something like valid_email()

sounds fine. call it what you like. :-)

Reason: The is_* family check for a variable type so dont think that it really fits into the same catagory.

twas a long shot ;-)

I totally agree with Richard. about the need for a php func for checking a correct email addr. given that php 'is all about the web', idealogically (still?) pragmatic and dynamically typed: is_email_addr() or is_email() just 'belongs' with: is_array() is_bool() is_callable() is_double() is_float() is_int() is_integer() is_long() is_null() is_numeric() is_object() is_real() is_resource() is_scalar() is_string() any devs care to comment? kind regards
