I've written a class also released on Google code under creative license that validates emails via SMTP.
http://code.google.com/p/php-smtp-email-validation/

It is meant to be used after you validate the syntax with the class provided here.

Hi Luke. I've uploaded a file to the Google Group which contrasts the two libraries, and tests are easily added; just copy of of the lines with "new EmailAddressValidatorTest" and edit the new line as necessary. (The second argument specifies whether you expect the address to validate.)

The file can be found at

Hi Luke. I'm not terribly good when it comes to responding to queries like yours. I've read it several times, but it's not a quick answer, so it goes in the "remember to do this later" section of brain. From where it presumably vanishes.

I don't know anything about the PHP Filter extension. I don't know how the "validate_email" filter specifically works. Certainly it would be easy to run the filter against the test cases in this project to see if it passed and failed correctly.

What advantages/disadvantages would this script have over the recently released PHP Filter extension? As far as I am aware it is bundled with php, and enabled by default, on all versions newer than 5.2.0 - but I believe it can be installed for any version of PHP?

Hi Dave,
Fantastic tool for its purpose. I am having one issue though. Is there any way you could custom license this for me asa GPL 2 version. I am going to integrate it to another GPL 2 platform and I am having license compatibility issue as the platform only accepts code that is GPL 2 licensed.

Thanks for the validation script. Unfortunately it will find an email address like

hello@asd.c

valid, which is wrong from my point of view?! As far a I am concerned there should be a test which check whether the last part of the domain portion is within 2 to 4.
