I've been looking into this and have developed what could be called a "stop-gap" version which validates against the recommended dot-atom character set for email addresses. http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-42
After Gavin's comments I'm looking into Perl's Email::Valid which also optionally checks domain validity. Which will take a little longer, but I'll try to get an update back later this week I'm not sure whether Zend want a "stop-gap" version or just the whole thing put into the framework.. best wishes, Simon > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Yager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 13 January 2007 06:45 > To: fw-general@lists.zend.com > Subject: [fw-general] isEmail status? > > Hi, > > With 0.7 coming up, I was curious to know what progress was > being made towards an implementation for isEmail. > > I've noticed that work on the new Zend_Filter and > Zend_Validate classes is underway, and it appears as though > these will have greater options to address the fuller issues > of email address parsing (e.g. > domain and address validation).
