Can anyone offer advice on best practices for email address verification?
Obviously for user registration it's common to click a link in your email to
complete the process thereby verifying the email, but if you want to keep
things very simple for the end user, what are the best methods?

1) check for a valid address syntax - that's easily done with a simply
regex (leaving the most obscure variations out).
2) check that the domain-name exists and has an A record.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a script to check for errors in submitted forms. I want
the visitor to enter two times the email address and then check for it...
This is what I have so far. The scripts checks if the email was entered in
both fields, but not if they are equal to each other... ???

Does anybody know any good ways (or available code) for verifying email
addresses?
Checking syntax is not enough.. I'd like to actually be able to test
whether the email address exists.

What you could do additionally to syntax check, is to check if the domain they are
giving is existant or not with checkdnsrr(). Still not 100% fullproof though :-(

The only way to be sure is to send them an e-mail with a link or
validation code
Is this what you want?
function validateEmail ($email) {
return (ereg('^[-!#$%\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+'. '@'.
'[-!#$%\'*+\\/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+\.' .
'[-!#$%\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+$', $email));
}
This will also do the job. It actually connects to the mail

I don't have code, since I've never needed to do this, but can anyone

actually faking out sending a message?

Bingo. And with catchall accounts and unexpected mail server behavior you
may get no response even if an email address is not valid. IMO,
