How do I run this regex in PHP that parse full email address with name? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Keep it simple. Since we know we can use this to validate almost any email address in an uncomplicated way:

(^[^ ]+@[^ ]+\.[^ ].+$)

One step further will let us grab the name too:

^(.*?) *(<[^ ]+@[^ ]+\.[^ ].+>)$
