Uses `email_parse` in the background and returns `email` key. ``` $valid = email_valid('πŸ˜ƒ@ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈγ€‚γƒ†γ‚Ήγƒˆ'); var_dump($valid); // string(24) "πŸ˜ƒ@ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈ.γƒ†γ‚Ήγƒˆ" // Non valid because of starting dot $valid = email_valid('.πŸ˜ƒ@ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈ.γƒ†γ‚Ήγƒˆ'); var_dump($valid); // bool(false) ``` ### email\_safe [](#email_safe) Check if an email is valid and returns the email in punycode if valid or false. Uses `email_parse` in the background and returns `safe_email` key. ``` $valid = email_safe('πŸ˜ƒ@ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈγ€‚γƒ†γ‚Ήγƒˆ'); var_dump($valid); // string(34) "xn--h28h@xn--9t4b11yi5a.xn--zckzah" // Non valid because of starting dot $valid = email_safe('.πŸ˜ƒ@ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈ.γƒ†γ‚Ήγƒˆ'); var_dump($valid); // bool(false) ``` License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 38 β€” LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance61 Regular maintenance activity Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits β€” single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** β€” Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
