What works better in CF7 for validating an email address?
isValid?
isValid("email", request.email)
or something like:
function IsEmail(address) {
if(REFindNoCase("[[:alnum:]_\.\-]+@([[:alnum:]_\.\-]+\.)+[[:alpha:]]{2,4}",address))
return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
}
I've been using IsEmail, and it's been working pretty good. Today, the
client using the site sends to a couple of hundred messages out to
addresses like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
IsEmail validated them, and they were delivered properly.
But there was one in the list that was *invalid* and isEmail let it
through: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@somewhere.com.rpost.org
IsEmail cleared it, and so CFMAIL threw an error when it tried to send,
triggering my error trapping and aborting sending the rest.
So, the questions are:
1. What would isValid have done with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?
2. What would it have done with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]@somewhere.com.rpost.org"?
3. isValid does *not* match up with the CFMAIL tag when it comes to what
each will allow, creating some obvius problems. Is there anything out
there that matches more closely?
