My script checks for proper domain, so far so good.
$email = $_POST['email'];
if($email) {
// take a given email address and split it into the username and domain.
list($userName, $mailDomain) = split("@", $email);
if (checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX")) {
// this is a valid email domain!
$sql_mailings = "insert into Mailings(email) values('$email')";
$res_mailings = mysql_query( $sql_mailings, $conn) or
die(mysql_error($conn));
echo("Email Added, thanks");
}
else {
// this email domain doesn't exist! bad dog! no biscuit!
echo("<br>Please enter a valid address!");
echo("<br><a href=\"$self\">Back</a>");
}
}
else{
echo (' <form method="post" action="'.$self.'" name="Mailing List">
<small>Add your email address<br>
<input maxlength="150" size="50"
name="email"><input name="Submit" value="submit"
type="submit"><br>
