Re: testing an email address

Here, This not only checks the form of an email address, but if the domain is valid! //This function checks the validity of an email, and if the domain is registered! //If the second parameter is true, then it does NOT check for a valid domain name. function check_email($email, $bJustFormat = FALSE) { if (eregi("^[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,3}$", $email, $check))

      if ($bJustFormat || getmxrr(substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1), $validate_email_temp))
         return TRUE;

return FALSE; } At 11:06 AM 10/12/2001 -0500, Joseph Bannon wrote:

Is there a PHP function to test whether an email address is valid or not?
