I am using this syntax to check for a valid e-mail address list($userName, $mailDomain) = split("@", $buyer_email); if (checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX")) { if no domain is provided ( ie e-mail address is something like âronâ with no @ ) the following error is displayed: Warning: checkdnsrr() [function.checkdnsrr]: Host and type cannot be empty Can I suppress this from displaying so *just* my error message displays?
