README

Small PHP library to valid email addresses using a number of methods.

Features

• Validates email address
• Checks for example domains (e.g. example.com)
• Checks for disposable email domains (e.g. mailinator.com)
• Checks for role-based addresses (e.g. abuse@)
• Checks for MX records (i.e. can receive email)

Install (using Composer)

composer require nojacko/email-validator:~1.0

Usage

Generalised Functions

• isValid($email) Runs all the tests within this library. Returns true or false.
• isSendable($email) Checks isEmail, isExample and hasMx. Returns true or false.

Specific Functions

If you want more control, use these functions seperately.

• isEmail($email) Note: returns true or false only.
• isExample($email)
• isDisposable($email)
• isRole($email)
• hasMx($email)

These functions take a single argument (an email address) and return:

• true, when function name is satisfied.
• false, when function name is not satisfied.
• null, when check is not possible, i.e. an invalid email is given.

Examples

$validator = new \EmailValidator\Validator();

$validator->isValid('example@google.com');              // true
$validator->isValid('abuse@google.com');                // false
$validator->isValid('example@example.com');             // false

$validator->isSendable('example@google.com');           // true
$validator->isSendable('abuse@google.com');             // true
$validator->isSendable('example@example.com');          // false

$validator->isEmail('example@example.com');             // true
$validator->isEmail('example@example');                 // false

$validator->isExample('example@example.com');           // true
$validator->isExample('example@google.com');            // false
$validator->isExample('example.com');                   // null

$validator->isDisposable('example@example.com');        // false
$validator->isDisposable('example@mailinater.com');     // true
$validator->isDisposable('example.com');                // null

$validator->isRole('example@example.com');              // false
$validator->isRole('abuse@example.com');                // true
$validator->isRole('example.com');                      // null

$validator->hasMx('example@example.com');               // false
$validator->hasMx('example@google.com');                // true
