Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install Email is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
{
    "require": {
        "black/email": "@stable"
    }
}
```

**Protip:** You should browse the [`black/email`](https://packagist.org/packages/black/email) page to choose a stable version to use, avoid the `@stable` meta constraint.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Usage is simple. Just create a new EmailEmail, if your email is invalid an `Email\Exception\InvalidEmailEmailException`will be thrown. Be aware of this, the validation is on the format, not on a A or MX record in a valid DNS.

```
$email = new Email\EmailEmail("foo@bar.com");
$email->getValue(); // return foot@bar.com
$email->getValueAsArray() // return ['recipient' => "foo", 'domain' => "bar", 'tld' => "com"]
```

**List of available getters**

- `getValue()`
- `getValueAsArray()`
- `getRecipient()`
- `getDomain()`
- `getTld()`

**Check if two email are equals**

`isEqualTo(Email\EmailEmail $email)`: Check if two emails are equals

**WARNING**

`FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` will not works with non-standard ASCII characters so an email like this `me@domain.中国` will throw an InvalidEmailAddressException.

`FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` don't know rules of providers. `0me@hotmail.com` is invalid for hotmail but valid for PHP.
