Top Ajax : I meant that at the top of WeberDev.com there is an Ajax search box that you can use to search for "email validation" and see many related code examples to choose from. berber -----Original Message----- From: 'Roman Neuhauser' [mailto:neuhauser@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 1:47 PM To: WeberSites LTD Cc: 'Don'; php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: email validation string. Don't top-post. Trim quoted material. Use a mail user agent that doesn't screw up quoting. There's a plugin for Outlook to fix it.

I wouldn't touch that. I should have also mentioned that the function is fundamentally flawed, and the whole section dealing with deliverability should be removed. The only way to reliably find out about an email address deliverability is to send it a secret and receive it back (filtering out bounces). This mathematician, Daniel Bernstein, has a proof-of-concept code in ezmlm. :) (Or just google for VERP.) > You can always go to http://www.weberdev.com/ and write "email validation" > in the Top Ajax search box.

Why should I use someone else's square wheel when I have mine own? :) Also, if there are many email validators with better code, please offer those better ones if you must. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
