Hi Ian,
The code is hosted with Google Code at:
http://code.google.com/p/php-email-address-validation/
From there, click "Source" and you have two options to grab the code.
You can use the SVN repository if you like (instructions are on the
page when you click "Source") or you can click "Browse" to view the
code online.
Regards
Dave

Dave,
Thanks for prompt reply. It would have taken me a long time to get
there.
The code looks ideal, and I like all the comments.
Thanks again.

Hi Ian,
My pleasure. I'll try to remember to add some instructions for
downloading to the project page - you're not the first person to ask
about this.

Dave,
I know your a genius when it comes to php validation, and this will
probably take you 2 minutes to figure out. I on the other hand have
been trying to validate this form for more than a week. I have gone
through forum after forum, book after book, and finally came across
your blog. I am knew to php, so pardon my ignorance as I go through
the learning process. Here is my script could you please show me how
to add email validation to it.
Form
<?php
$to = 'm...@mywebsite.com';
$header = $_POST['emailAddress']
$subject = $_POST['inquiryOptions'];
$name = $_POST['fullName'];
$comment = $_POST['thoughts'];

$message = "From: $name\nSender e-mail address: $header\nRegarding:
$subject\n\nMessage:\n$comment\n";
if ($header =="") {
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\"

exit;

Thank you Chris, and Dave for your prompt response.
I did plug in the code using the advise that you gave me, but now I'm
coming up with a parse error '>' on line 27. I know it's something
simple like a semi colon or a bracket, but I posted my code anyway
just in case I miss it. I am once again grateful for any advise that
you guys can give.
P.S
Chris that double $header post was a cut and paste error, I quickly
went back and checked. Thank you for pointing it out though.

Guys I figured out that error. Again it was a cut and paste issue
which was quickly corrected when I removed the '>' that I copied from
Chris' code.
Now I'm getting this error code from line 42
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting
T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' on line 42.
To make it easier to find line 42 begins like this:
public function check_email_address($strEmailAddress) {
> >> if ($validator->check_email_address('t...@example.org')) {

I'll have to remember to not quote my code over email anymore.
In your original source, the class is not contained by the <?php ?> tags; is that the entire source? If not, please post it; syntax errors sometimes reside well above their point of detection. Plus I think I need to run the script myself to find anything else.

I'm sorry Chris I should have posted it with the <?php?> tags; but that is the entire code. Everything works great until I add the email validation which I'm sure you will agree with me is the most important part.
I posted the code below by itself, and then with validation.
Thanks again for taking the time to look at this for me.
Bloglegend
Here is the code posted in its entirety: (with limited validation this just checks to see if the email field is left blank)
<?php
$to = 'm...@atmysite.com';
$subject = $_POST['inquiryOptions'];
$name = $_POST['fullName'];
$comment = $_POST['thoughts'];
$header = $_POST['emailAddress'];
$message = "From: $name\nSender e-mail address: $header\nRegarding: $subject\n\nMessage:\n$comment\n";
if ($header =="")
{
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\"
content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
exit;
}
$success= mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: <$header>");
if ($success) {

I haven't tested it yet because I'm struggling to find a working server I can use... My home server is down for an unknown reason which I need to ask about and my deployment server isn't accepting uploads. I forgot the login info to my friend's deployment server that I haven't needed in a long time.

I think the problem may be the way you are 'presenting' the comments at the
top of the code.
This:
simple as commenting that code out differently than the way it is now.
Still, take it as you will as I am very very new to this and look at things
totally differently than most of you do most likely as I was an artist
turned programmer about 15 years ago.

I'm not sure if the source is the code below, but I copied that one below and it errors at line 57 with this Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}'code line 57. I also went to the link you provided, but it comes up as no longer there. I'm still going through it to make sure I wasn't a victim of the cut and paste error from before, but so far haven't found it.

Line 57 is a line comment; make sure the line doesn't wrap around. Or you could use a block comment instead, which would make line wraps irrelevant.
The page redirects to a page which doesn't exist; the page itself exists, and the redirection indicates that no error is encountered.

To clarify, in this context a line wrap is a newline placed where it shouldn't be by Google Groups (because it thinks a message consists purely of human language, which doesn't mind newlines).

I would be glad to reach that far in the sequence with the redirect link because that is a simple page error. Instead I get stuck with parse error. Right above the public function check_email_address($

Dave (if that's your preferred name?), I didn't think the group would preserve an attachment? Otherwise, I would have sent one myself.
I've updated my copy to output plain text rather than HTML, so it won't be redirecting anymore. Also, appending ?action=source to the URL's end will display the PHP.

Sorry Blog Legend, I forgot to respond to your last message. As a block-to-line comment conversion example, this...
// If magic quotes is "on", email addresses with quote marks will
// fail validation because of added escape characters. Uncommenting
// the next three lines will allow for this issue.
//if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
// $strEmailAddress = stripslashes($strEmailAddress);
//}
would become this...
/* If magic quotes is "on", email addresses with quote marks will
fail validation because of added escape characters. Uncommenting
$strEmailAddress = stripslashes($strEmailAddress);
}*/
As for the error you cite, I haven't seen it for myself yet. All the errors I've seen have been simple line wraps that left human language uncommented so the server tried to parse it as PHP.

Had to go to work was away from my computer. Chris I attempted to unwrap the file, but I would have to see an original to compare it too. David, I sent a zip file with my code inside it. I used microsoft works to create the file, so please let me know if it doesn't open. If it doesn't I have the complete code listed in the group.

I'm pleasantly surprised that uploads work. :)
I don't understand why you converted block comments to line... I said it that way once, but then corrected myself. This change caused two extra errors, and the misalignment looks untidy.
Anyway, I modified your file as I did the other and uploaded it to http://jesdisciple.110mb.com/EmailAddressValidator/validation.php . Add ?action=source for the PHP. I encountered no error on Line 51; I'm beginning to suspect your PHP installation.

Oh, and here's a wrapping example:
//This is a line
comment.
That would through an error because "comment" is outside the comment, which is terminated by the newline. It's like writing
/*This is a block*/
comment.
These are the available fixes:
//This is a line comment.
/*This is a block
comment.*/

Chris,
Would it be possible for you to zip that file to me? For some reason when I click the link provided below I get the redirect error. Haven't been able to view the first modification that you provided, nor the second.
I am working on my block conversion one day I won't make that mistake, but today I am humbled by your lesson. ?action=source php where would you like me to add this to the script? I'm using expression web, and have this script linked to the form via action, but if there is somewhere else on this php code itself you need me to add it I will definitely do so.
Besides that I wouldn't be surprised if after all of this cutting, pasting, and modifications it turns out to be the php installation. Because that validation script looks very impressive. I'm just a little skeptical because my original code works when testing without validation. Once I able to view the code with all the new modifications I will plug it in, and test it. If that doesn't work I will try reinstalling php, but for now I'm blaming google.
Good Morning...

I zipped both files up and attached them. But ?action=source should be appended to the URL, like so:
http://jesdisciple.110mb.com/EmailAddressValidator/validation.php?action=source
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;URL=error.html">
That's not an error but the script's output. It displays as text because I instructed it to do so at the top of the PHP file.

Chris,
Quick update, I fixed the parse error. You were correct in thinking that it might be the way how my server is handling the code. It turns out that I was using 4.4.9 on my hosting site. I went in updated it to php5 this morning, and the error went away. I don't have time to do it right now, but tonight I have to go back and connect my error handling pages to match the added coding. Quick question should I use the code from our previous discussion $validate ('header') to connect it? Or is there something you can whip up to make this nightmare go away completely.
Chris I have to really say thanks to you for sticking with me while I made changes Dave too for making a damn good code.

Hi everybody,
Excuse me if I am inappropriate in this group. I am really new to php
code. I have created a contact form including email address in Flash
actionscript 2.0 programming. I managed to check the a@y.c as a valid
email address. But obviously, that is not enough if you really would
like evaluate the validity of the real email address.
So, I am really excited when I saw this discussion page from google
search. I would like to learn the proper system of validating email
address using php code from experts like you.
Excuse me again if I ask a very basic and/or stupid question.
Can someone tell me how to use this final version of php code in flash
for a click event of the button?
I have used form.loadVariables("Contact_us.php", "POST"); Flash
actionscript syntax to send email with all the data entered by the
visitor considering a@y.c is a valid email address of the visitor. Can
I use similar kind of code to check email address validity using this
php code?
Thanks for your valuable time reading and giving your feedback.

actionscript 2.0 programming. I managed to check the a@y.c as a valid
email address. But obviously, that is not enough if you really would
like evaluate the validity of the real email address.
So, I am really excited when I saw this discussion page from google
search. I would like to learn the proper system of validating email
address using php code from experts like you.
Excuse me again if I ask a very basic and/or stupid question.
Can someone tell me how to use this final version of php code in flash
for a click event of the button?
I have used form.loadVariables("Contact_us.php", "POST"); Flash
actionscript syntax to send email with all the data entered by the
visitor considering a@y.c is a valid email address of the visitor. Can
I use similar kind of code to check email address validity using this
php code?
Thanks for your valuable time reading and giving your feedback.

First, I need to apologize to Blog Legend. I apparently didn't see your last message, or I simply forgot it. Are you still reading? Would it do any good for me to look into your question?
KS, I'm not familiar with ActionScript, although I have tried unsuccessfully to understand its API for haXe programming (to avoid paying for an Adobe license). I'm guessing that the loadVariables method returns the output of the PHP page; if so, I see no reason that you couldn't validate an address in that manner. Just test the value of the returned string according to your output pattern.
However, I cringe at the designation of me as an "expert." I can't speak for David, but I'm just a hobbyist with a high school grounding in programming and loads of free education from online communities. I plan to attend college to gain reinforcement and a degree for my hobby, but my help is "NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE FAILURE THEREOF COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE." (That's almost straight from the GNU GPL.)

KS,
You can use this code to send and receive to and from php.
This is what I use, and it is solid.
Just put this code on a frame or in a function and call it from your button.
The ActionScript //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
result_lv = undefined;
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
// you get your values from the php file here.
trace (result_lv.validated);
// or
myVar = result_lv.validated;
// or
myStatus.text = result_lv.validated;
// then do what you want to, or go where you want to go
gotoAndPlay(wherever);
} else {
// you catch you errors here if something went wrong
myStatus.text = "Error connecting to server.";
}
};
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// you send what it is to be checked here
send_lv.emailAddress = e_mailAddress.text;
// or
send_lv.emailAddress = e_mailAddress;
send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://www.wherever/yourPHPfile.php", result_lv, "POST");
send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://www.wherever/yourPHPfile.php", result_lv, "POST");
The PHP /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
<?PHP
// Get information into php from Flash
$email = $_POST['emailAddress'];
// now you have a php variable with the flash value in it
// do what you have to do in php, then..
// Send it back to Flash
echo "&validated=true";
// the &validated is the flash variable
// the true is the value in it
?>
Make sure that after the above php close statement ( ?> ) you have nothing else, no extra characters or spaces otherwise you won't get a good value back in flash. In other words, when you close the php, nothing can be after it when communicating with flash.
It took me weeks to debug this and all I had was some invisible spaces following the close command, don't make the same mistake I did, It could drive you crazy.
