Nothing to add: Validate an E-Mail Address with PHP, the Right Way.
You wonder why I put this here? I just tested with Zend_Validate_EmailAdress and that thingy even stating that it will comply with “Email-Address” defined in RFC2822 (“Zend_Validate_EmailAddress will match any valid email address according to RFC2822.
” ebd.), it simply does not. Big Laugh as often with the default ZF Class Set, so this “once did right” article to verify a standard Email-Address in PHP from Linux Journal Author Douglas Lovell did come in handy.
