Hey Bettina,

I’m not certain what you mean by “finished explanation”, but the entire script should look something like:

$emailAddress = “me@victorchen.info”;
$isValid = $validator->check_email_address($emailAddress);

Where $isValid will return either true or false. Just replace my email address with the email address you want to verify. So:

if($isValid) {
echo “Is Valid Email”;
} else {
echo “Is Invalid Email”;
}

Hi Victor,

First off, thanks for posting this. I would never have gotten this far without it!

Could you show what the finished explanation looks like? As a total newbie to PHP and Email validation I need all the help I can get!

Thanks,
Bettina

Yes email validation is a pain when you do not understand how to do so. This should help lots of people.

Great guide, Victor. I’m sure this will be very useful to anyone wanting to add email validation to their web application.
