Many people just check it like this:
if (strpos($emailVar), '@') > 0) {
echo 'Email is validated';
} else {
echo 'Please supply a correct email address, don\'t you try no fancy
stuff with me!';
}
But this function from the pear class Validate, is more complete (can even
check the domain):
function validateEmail($email, $check_domain = false)
{
if (ereg('^[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+'.'@'.
'[-!#$%&\'*+\\/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+\.'.
'[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+$', $email))
{
if ($check_domain && function_exists('checkdnsrr')) {
list (, $domain) = explode('@', $email);
if (checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX') || checkdnsrr($domain, 'A')) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
Cheers!
