Would it not be better something like valid_email()

Anyway, I agree that PHP needs such function.
Check out http://pecl.php.net/package/filter
<?php
$clean['email'] = input_get(INPUT_POST, 'email', FL_EMAIL);
?>
I've been playing around with this for a while, and it should be noted
that it's still in beta and should not be used in a production
environment, but it's a promising step. The e-mail regex that's used
isn't perfect, and it won't support RFC-compliant addresses, but I hope
to put a little bit of work into it to help out with this.
In the meantime, check out PEAR::Mail, which includes Mail_RFC822 that
can be used to validate e-mail addresses. Also, if your PHP is compiled
--with-imap, then you can use imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist() to validate
e-mail addresses.
