ID: 53722 User updated by: romain dot riviere at gmail dot com Reported by: romain dot riviere at gmail dot com Summary: FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL fails on numeric TLDs Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Filter related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: There ARE numeric TLDs, even though they are not made public. I have one on my LAN. The filter should probably not rely on what is believed to exist, but on what is technically feasible. In other words, if I can get email on the address [email protected] (and again, YES, it works), then FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL should not reject such an address.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php There are no numeric TLDs, the e-mail filters supports IP based e-mail addresses however. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-12 13:48:58] romain dot riviere at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Although FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL accepts non-existent TLDs, it refuses to validate numeric TLDs. AFAIK, there is no technical justification for this: numeric TLDs just work out of the box as far as the DNS know about them. I suggest that the filter should validate numeric TLDs, or that a FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_NUMTLD be created to alter the default behaviour of the filter. Test script: --------------- filter_var("[email protected]", FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL) ; // returns false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53722&edit=1
