Use:

• or "filter_var" from http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php

var_dump(filter_var('bob@example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));

• or "EmailValidator" from https://github.com/egulias/EmailValidator

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