Is there a php library for email address validation?
How I can write php script that test e-mail address is input correctly and verify that the input begins with a series of character followed by the # character, another series of character and a final series of characters.
The filter_var() function, using the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter, should do exactly what you want -- no need to re-invent the wheel ;-)
Use the PHP function filter_var() with the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL flag to validate the email address:
$emailValid = filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
if($emailValid) {
echo "Email is valid";
} else {
echo "Email is INVALID";
}
I mostly use filter_var for this, but a fellow github'r notified me that this function is flawed.
He recommended to use the rather more complex validator at http://www.dominicsayers.com/isemail/.
Good luck!
if(preg_match("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$",$email){
$inputcorrectly = true; // Or whatever
}

Allow only [a-z][A-Z][0-9] in string using PHP

Closed 2 years ago.
So users have been creating accounts and some includes %20, how do I get the input to only accept a-z, A-Z, and 0-9?
if ($username === null){$registrable = false; array_push($error,'Not a valid Username.');}
Can it be similar to the code above?
Are you using a normal text input? If so you can try using pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9-]+" on the input.
If the pattern is not correct when submitting the form, users will get a message asking them to use the propper pattern.
use in php ctype_alnum
if (ctype_alnum($username)) {
echo "username is aplphanumeric!\n";
} else {
echo "The usename $username is not valid\n";
}

How to validate an email address in PHP

the code is not running can anyone explain why ?
$string1 = "Dean_Johns123#cyber.net.uk"; //Example Email
$pattern = "/^[a-z][_][A-Z][_][0-9]*(#).[a-zA-Z]{2,9}[a-zA-Z]{2,3}.[a-zA-Z]{2}$/";
if(preg_match($pattern , $string1))
{
echo " valid email";
}
else
{
echo "not valid";
}
It would work it you right pattern like this
$pattern = "/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*(#)[a-zA-Z]{2,9}.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}.[a-zA-Z]{2}$/";
Demo : https://eval.in/850480
The code is not running because the pattern you are using is wrong in syntax you can use
/^([a-z]*)([A-Z]*)([0-9]*)(#)([a-zA-Z]*)([0-9]*).([a-zA-Z]*)([0-9]*).([a-zA-Z]*)([0-9]*)$/ You can visit https://regex101.com/ it explains every part of your regex to you.

PHP email validation
I'm working on this website, where I have to make a register form. I made it work, but then my friend told me, that some email domain names does have hyphens in them, like;
test#test-tester.com
Right now my code look like this:
preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9._\-]\w+(\.\w+)*\#\w+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)*\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,6}$/", $_POST["email"]
What I can see, this should work, but it still does not allow the hyphen.
Anyone know why?
Regex is always useful, but I prefer to use filter_var to validate emails
http://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php
if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
print('valid Email!');
}
else
{
print('invalid-email =(');
}

How to validate an Email in PHP?
Does PHP have a built in function for determining if an email address is formatted properly. I know it can't go out and check if the email is actually active; I'm talking about just confirming that an email address is structurally correct.
filter_var can do this:
$result = filter_var( 'bob#example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL );
It returns false when it failed validation, and returns the e-mail address otherwise.

How can I verify an email address in PHP?
If you want to check if an email address exists, check out checkdnsrr:
if (checkdnsrr('you#user.com', 'MX')) {
echo ':)';
}
else {
echo ':(';
}
If you want to check if a string is an email address, there are literally millions of regulars expressions out there. There's a native function in php, filter_input that does it, thought I've personally never used it.
filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)
function isemail($email) {
return strlen($email) > 6 && preg_match("/^[\w\-\.]+#[\w\-\.]+(\.\w+)+$/", $email);
}
