RE: [PHP] email validation string.
hi... the real problem you have with email validation is that the vast majority of the email validation scripts that you see in various apps only handle a part of what the wc3/spec states to be valid email addresses. if your app had the ability to handle the time constraint, a reasonable approach would be to simply fire off a msg to the email address and check the return status code! if you're really going to try to get a function to validate email addresses, and you're concerned about the outlying address types, then you're going to wind up with an ugly/hairy/complex situation. awhile ago, in taking the path least traveled, i punted this issue, and used a 'perl' function that i call from php to handle it... does it take a little longer, sure... but i decided it was worth it peace.. -Original Message- From: Roman Neuhauser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 2:17 AM To: WeberSites LTD Cc: 'Don'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] email validation string. # [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2007-01-19 10:55:21 +0200: From: Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm trying to get this line to validate an email address from a form and it isn't working. if (ereg([EMAIL PROTECTED],$submittedEmail)) The book I'm referencing has this line if (ereg([EMAIL PROTECTED],$submittedEmail)) 1.

Where can I check out the plugin? In either case... Aren't both expressions supposed to validate an e-mail?? PHP uses one of two sets of special characters depending on whether you use single or double quotes, and leaves a single backslash preceeding a non-special character intact. PCRE removes backslashes if they're followed by non-special characters (but see /X). IOW, as opposed to PHP, PCRE will reduce \x to x for any x that's not special. Use \\x if you want \x. PHP will, however, reduce \\x to \x, since \ is special. Relying on PHP's behavior with ordinary-x \x in a PCRE introduces another grammar to the mix. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb? You don't know, man. You don't KNOW.

Re: [PHP] email validation string.
Where can I check out the plugin? Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned plugin and firefox... It's not a plugin for firefox like other firefox's plugins... In fact, when I downloaded somewhere arround the web the name of the thing (won't call it plugin again) was Site Programmer Plugin Assistant (or something alike) and it's just a bunch of php scripts that run as a local site... That's why I said that the plugin was using PHP/5.2.0 because that's the php version I have installed. It needs Apache with PHP support to work and the php code it uses is a form that processes a text field and do a ereg($Pattern, $Text) on an if statment that outputs Match or No Match. Meaning pure PHP (in my case v5.2.0) For a real Firefox plugin that shows the matched part of the text in real time as you change the pattern, you can search for a plugin (a real one) named Regular Expressions Tester. I don't have it but you can search http://www.mozilla.com for it. Wait... https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2077/ this is the homepage for the plugin. However, I don't know if this uses Java(script) or what... About what I asked in my last post... In php, if you have a string like $Text=[a-zA-Z]+\\. php will save it like [a-zA-Z]+\. because the first backslash is escaping a special character which is the second backslash but if you have the string $Text=[a-zA-Z]+\. php will save it the exactly the same way because even that the backslash is used to escape special characters, there is no special char after it. It's just a dot. So the string gets stored the same way. Also it doesn't get different with quotes or double quotes. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

perl has a mod email::valid that claims to do email validation, and it

a lot of what i've seen from google breaks, or doesn't follow the standard!
any ideas/thoughts/sample code/etc...
I use this code to build the regex
$tld='[a-z]{2,}';
$regexp='^([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*'.
'@([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.'.$tld.')$';
And test it like this:
/* BEGIN PHP code*/
if (eregi($regexp, $email))
{
list($username,$domaintld) = split(@,$email);
// Validate domain
if (getmxrr($domaintld,$mxrecords)) {
$valid = true;
/*print(Domain: $domaintldbr /);
foreach($mxrecords as $mxKey = $mxValue)
print(nbsp;nbsp;$mxValuebr /);*/
} else {
if (checkdnsrr($domaintld, any))
$valid=true;
else
$errors.=The domain ('$domaintld') is
invalid..
Please check the email.br /;
}
} else {
$errors.=The email ('$email') isn't valid.br /;
$valid = false;
}
/* END PHP code*/
I used to get TLD list from
http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
Replacing the above TLD with
/*$tld =

But as I check if the email domain part is exists, this is not needed.
This is fairly good, and is adapted from a page that i don't have here
the reference. I think that it is RFC compatible in the regex, cause I
remember to see it to build the regex. The domain check code is adapted
as the in the original code it only checks for MX records, but in the
RFC says that if no MX records exist (where he should deliver), try to
deliver to the machine, e.g., if no mail.isp.com MX records exist, try
to deliver the message to the mail.isp.com machine (with SMTP, obviously).
PS: your Perl solution can be good, but I think that there exist PHP
classes that do it, but I don't know one.

Re: [PHP] Email validation
There is a great function library on http://killersoft.com/ which was derived from what is widely considered the best email validation script in Perl. It also follows RFC 822 about as close as is possible. [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html] I was about to start writing something simular, but decided not to re-invent the wheel... I've adopted this script on every project from now on, thanks to the kind person on this list who let me know about it!

RE: [PHP] Email validation
Can anyone tell me what the best form of Email validation
there is? It needs to be quick as open to - and . as possible.
We use this one on www.inww.com:
?
Function validEmail($emailaddress)
{
// Decides if the email address is valid. Checks syntax and MX records,
// for total smartass value. Returns "valid", "invalid-mx" or
// "invalid-form".
// Validates the email address. I guess it works. *shrug*
if
(eregi("^[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,3}$",
$emailaddress, $check))
{
//if ( getmxrr(substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1),
$validate_email_temp) )
if ( checkdnsrr(substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1), "ANY") )
{ return "valid"; }
else
{ return "invalid-mx"; }
}
else
{
return "invalid-form";
}
}
?
