The `SMTPValidateEmail\Validator` class retrieves MX records for the email domain and then connects to the domain's SMTP server to try figuring out if the address really exists. Earlier versions (before 1.0) used the `SMTP_Validate_Email` class name (and did not use namespaces and other now-common PHP features). Care has been taken to keep the old API and migrating old code should be painless. See ["Migrating to 1.0 from older versions"](#migrating-to-1.0-from-older-versions) section. Or just use/download the ancient [0.7 version](https://github.com/zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email/releases/tag/v0.7). Features -------- [](#features) - Not actually sending the message, gracefully resetting the SMTP session when done - Command-specific communication timeouts implemented per relevant RFCs - Catch-all account detection - Batch mode processing supported - Logging/debugging support - No external dependencies - Covered with unit/functional tests Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/): `composer require myamwso/smtp-validate-email --update-no-dev` Usage examples -------------- [](#usage-examples) ### Basic example [](#basic-example) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use SMTPValidateEmail\Validator as SmtpEmailValidator; /** * Simple example */ $email = 'someone@example.org'; $sender = 'sender@example.org'; $validator = new SmtpEmailValidator($email, $sender); // If debug mode is turned on, logged data is printed as it happens: // $validator->debug = true; $results = $validator->validate(); var_dump($results); // Get log data (log data is always collected) $log = $validator->getLog(); var_dump($log); ``` ### Multiple recipients and other details [](#multiple-recipients-and-other-details) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use SMTPValidateEmail\Validator as SmtpEmailValidator; /** * Validating multiple addresses/recipients at once: * (checking multiple addresses belonging to the same server * uses a single connection) */ $emails = [ 'someone@example.org', 'someone.else@example.com' ]; $sender = 'sender@example.org'; $validator = new SmtpEmailValidator($email, $sender): $results = $validator->validate(); var_dump($results); /** * The `validate()` method accepts the same parameters * as the constructor, so this is equivalent to the above: */ $emails = [ 'someone@example.org', 'someone.else@example.com' ]; $sender = 'sender@example.org'; $validator = new SmtpEmailValidator(): $results = $validator->validate($emails, $sender); var_dump($results); ``` Migrating to 1.0 from older versions ------------------------------------ [](#migrating-to-10-from-older-versions) Earlier versions used the global `SMTP_Validate_Email` classname. You can keep using that name in your existing code and still switch to the newer (composer-powered) version by using [aliasing/importing](http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php) like this: Require the composer package: `composer require myamwso/smtp-validate-email --update-no-dev` And then in your code: ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use SMTPValidateEmail\Validator as SMTP_Validate_Email; // Now any old code referencing `SMTP_Validate_Email` should still work as it did earlier ``` Development & Contributions ------------------------------- [](#development--contributions) See the [Makefile](Makefile) and the development dependencies in [composer.json](composer.json) and [package.json](package.json). Running `make` once you clone (or download) the repository gives you: ``` Usage: make [target] [target] help -------- ---- help What you're currently reading install Installs dev dependencies test Runs tests coverage Runs tests with code coverage $(PIDFILE) Starts the smtp-sink server server-start Stops and starts the smtp-sink server server-stop Stops smtp-sink server if it's running clean Removes installed dev dependencies ``` So, run `make install` to get started. Afterwards you should be able to run the tests. Tests are powered by `phpunit` and a local `smtp-sink` instance running on port 1025. If `smtp-sink` is unavailable, tests requiring it are marked as skipped. Pull requests are welcome! In order to get your pull-request merged, please follow these simple rules: - all code submissions must pass cleanly (no errors) with `make test` - stick to existing code style (`phpcs` is used) - there should be no external dependencies - if you want to add significant features/dependencies, file an issue about it first so we can discuss whether the addition makes sense for the project [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) ------------------------- [](#changelog) [License (GPL-3.0+)](LICENSE.txt) --------------------------------- [](#license-gpl-30) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
