Answer 1

try this :-

function isValidEmailAddr ($email) {
    if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
}

usage :-

include('path/to/lib.php');
$test = 'email@foo.bar';
if(isValidEmailAddr($test) == true){
 echo "good to go";
} else { echo "try again babe!" }
