Today, I have something to do with an email validate then I had search by google to find all requirement i need to use, a few menuts later I have found this below:
but I am not still main hope of you, however it it the main concept for the email validation and easy use in PHP and not complicated in thinking, coz everything is completed.
//===============================================
Validate an email address.
Provide email address (raw input)
Returns true if the email address has the email
address format and the domain exists.
*/
function validEmail($email)
{
$isValid = true;
$atIndex = strrpos($email, "@");
if (is_bool($atIndex) && !$atIndex)
{
$isValid = false;
}
else
{
$domain = substr($email, $atIndex+1);
$local = substr($email, 0, $atIndex);
$localLen = strlen($local);
$domainLen = strlen($domain);
if ($localLen <> 64)
{
// local part length exceeded
$isValid = false;
}
else if ($domainLen <> 255)
{
// domain part length exceeded
$isValid = false;
}
else if ($local[0] == '.' || $local[$localLen-1] == '.')
{
// local part starts or ends with '.'
$isValid = false;
}
else if (preg_match('/\\.\\./', $local))
{
// local part has two consecutive dots
$isValid = false;
}
else if (!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9\\-\\.]+$/', $domain))
{
// character not valid in domain part
$isValid = false;
}
else if (preg_match('/\\.\\./', $domain))
{
// domain part has two consecutive dots
$isValid = false;
}
else if
(!preg_match('/^(\\\\.|[A-Za-z0-9!#%&`_=\\/$\'*+?^{}|~.-])+$/',
str_replace("\\\\","",$local)))
{
// character not valid in local part unless
// local part is quoted
if (!preg_match('/^"(\\\\"|[^"])+"$/',
str_replace("\\\\","",$local)))
{
$isValid = false;
}
}
if ($isValid && !(checkdnsrr($domain,"MX") ||
↪checkdnsrr($domain,"A")))
{
// domain not found in DNS
$isValid = false;
}
}
return $isValid;
}
