Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 12:36:23] metz@speedpartner.de you don't know how happy I am ;)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 10:23:16] cynic@php.net everything's possible, but PEAR is part of the "standard repertoire", so you should be happy. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 10:13:21] metz@speedpartner.de 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
