Still open?

[Chris (Jesdisciple)]

Hi, I'm just wondering if this project is still on. I'm researching
the topic for The Wiki Guide to PHP (http://php.wikia.com/wiki/
Email_validation) and trying to find the most robust implementation
and/or some good guidelines for building one.

Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,

It is still going. The code is at a point where it passes all existing
tests, so there's no real To Do list at the moment. But I am still
open to suggestion and happy to put work into it as flaws and
improvements are sent my way! :)

First, sorry for all those messages... I don't understand how that
happened.

I have 3 tests which your class fails - 1 positive and 2 negative, all
of them harvested from
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9585 . Except the first negative
test, the PHP "Data Filtering" extension mentioned in your comments
also fails them, so I'm outnumbered in my claim that the other two
tests are accurate.

The positive test is 'test\@te...@example.com'; the negative tests are
'te...@example.123' and 'te...@1example.com'.

Update: I devised a new testing format which shows more detail than
the simple PHPUnit assertions of equality. Specifically, it displays
all the disagreements between the Data Filtering extension, your
validator, and my own three expectations. Based on your tests, the
extension has several deficiencies. I've uploaded the file to this
group as "alternativeTestFormat.php".

Just wanted to say - I've not missed this, just not had time to check
into it yet. More as soon as I can.

Dave,

I'm not sure whether you took my silence as an indication that I abandoned you, so consider this a nudge if you didn't.  I hate rushing, so don't think I'm hurrying you.

In ALL things, strive for ><>,

No problem, Chris - it's just been one of those months where
everything seems to be going full pace and nothing gets done.

I haven't forgotten - this email thread is still marked "To Do", and
I'll get to it. The nudges certainly don't hurt though.
