just to add my 0.02 worth to this conversation.... after throwing things at the wall regarding email verification/validation, i finally decided to cheat. i went with using the perl/cpan email function (can't recall right now) and created a wrapper around it. the perl function has been around alot longer than almost any other function that i could find, and it appeared to follow the rfc standard. but yeah, it would be nice/good if there was a verified/valid/accurate php email_valid function, as most of the ones that i found were really lacking... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Robin Vickery [mailto:robinv@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 5:31 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Re: Email Validation built-in?

Richard was pretty specific in his needs. Just in case anyone's inspired to read through the specs; It's RFC-2822 these days. RFC-822 is obsolete. -robin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
