EmailValidator

Supported RFCs

This library aims to support:

RFC 5321, 5322, 6530, 6531, 6532.

Requirements

• Composer is required for installation
• Spoofchecking and DNSCheckValidation validation requires that your PHP system has the PHP Internationalization Libraries (also known as PHP Intl)

Installation

Run the command below to install via Composer

composer require egulias/email-validator

Getting Started

EmailValidatorrequires you to decide which (or combination of them) validation/s strategy/ies you’d like to follow for each validation.

A basic example with the RFC validation

<?php

use Egulias\EmailValidator\EmailValidator;
use Egulias\EmailValidator\Validation\RFCValidation;

$validator = new EmailValidator();
$validator->isValid("example@example.com", new RFCValidation()); //true

Available validations

1. RFCValidation: Standard RFC-like email validation.
2. NoRFCWarningsValidation: RFC-like validation that will fail when warnings* are found.
3. DNSCheckValidation: Will check if there are DNS records that signal that the server accepts emails. This does not entails that the email exists.
4. SpoofCheckValidation: Will check for multi-utf-8 chars that can signal an erroneous email name.
5. MultipleValidationWithAnd: It is a validation that operates over other validations performing a logical and (&&) over the result of each validation.
6. Your own validation: You can extend the library behaviour by implementing your own validations.

*warnings: Warnings are deviations from the RFC that in a broader interpretation are acceptded.

<?php

use Egulias\EmailValidator\EmailValidator;
use Egulias\EmailValidator\Validation\DNSCheckValidation;
use Egulias\EmailValidator\Validation\MultipleValidationWithAnd;
use Egulias\EmailValidator\Validation\RFCValidation;

$validator = new EmailValidator();
$multipleValidations = new MultipleValidationWithAnd([
    new RFCValidation(),
    new DNSCheckValidation()
]);
//ietf.org has MX records signaling a server with email capabilites
$validator->isValid("example@ietf.org", $multipleValidations); //true

How to extend

It’s easy! You just need to implement EmailValidation and you can use your own validation.
