PHP Filter Reference : Check if the variable $email is a valid email address
The FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter validates an e-mail address.
The example below both sanitizes and validates an email address:
First remove all illegal characters from the $email variable, then check if it is a valid email address:
<?php
$email = "john.doe@example.com";
// Remove all illegal characters from email
$email = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
// Validate e-mail
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo("$email is a valid email address");
} else {
echo("$email is not a valid email address");
}
?>
