Changes ------- [](#changes) Changes include: - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) support - Refactored the class to be purely static - Opened up methods for checking the "local part" (the bit before the `@`) and the "domain part" (after the `@`) to be public methods - Additional code style and docblock fixing to properly follow the [PHP-FIG PSR-1](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-1/)and [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) documents Note that this class is still **un-namespaced** - i.e. it's still declared in the global namespace. The `composer.json`file is still set up to correctly load it when required, so this shouldn't be a problem in practice - it's just perhaps not best-practice. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` php composer.phar require aziraphale/email-address-validator:^2 ``` If you don't want to use Composer (why not?!), just download the `EmailAddressValidator.php` file, save it with your project, and `require` it where needed. Note that this updated version is **version 2.0.0**. I have kept the original class tagged as **version 1.0.10** (it was the 10th commit to the Google Code svn repository). If you want to use Composer to install the **old** class, simply specify `^1` as the version constraint (which will allow for backwards-compatible changes to be installed, if any get made, while never jumping to my modified class without your direct action): ``` php composer.phar require aziraphale/email-address-validator:^1 ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Due to the aforementioned changes, the way of using this class has completely changed. However it has such a small and simple interface that these changes shouldn't be problematic. As a recap, the **old usage** was like this: ``` $validator = new EmailAddressValidator; if ($validator->check_email_address('test@example.org')) { // Email address is technically valid } ``` The **new syntax** is as follows (ensure you have already included Composer's `autoload.php` file!): ``` if (EmailAddressValidator::checkEmailAddress("test@example.org")) { // Email address is technically valid } ``` with a couple of additional methods in case they're helpful: ``` if (EmailAddressValidator::checkLocalPortion("test")) { // "test" is technically a valid string to have before the "@" in an email address } if (EmailAddressValidator::checkDomainPortion("example.org")) { // "example.org" is technically a valid email address host } ``` ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity25 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 77.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
