Returns true or false. - `isSendable($email)` Checks isEmail, isExample and hasMx. Returns true or false. ### Specific Functions [](#specific-functions) If you want more control, use these functions seperately. - `isEmail($email)` Note: returns true or false only. - `isExample($email)` - `isDisposable($email)` - `isRole($email)` - `hasMx($email)` These functions take a single argument (an email address) and return: - true, when function name is satisfied. - false, when function name is not satisfied. - null, when check is not possible, i.e. an invalid email is given. Examples -------- [](#examples) ``` $validator = new \EmailValidator\Validator(); $validator->isValid('example@google.com'); // true $validator->isValid('abuse@google.com'); // false $validator->isValid('example@example.com'); // false $validator->isSendable('example@google.com'); // true $validator->isSendable('abuse@google.com'); // true $validator->isSendable('example@example.com'); // false $validator->isEmail('example@example.com'); // true $validator->isEmail('example@example'); // false $validator->isExample('example@example.com'); // true $validator->isExample('example@google.com'); // false $validator->isExample('example.com'); // null $validator->isDisposable('example@example.com'); // false $validator->isDisposable('example@mailinater.com'); // true $validator->isDisposable('example.com'); // null $validator->isRole('example@example.com'); // false $validator->isRole('abuse@example.com'); // true $validator->isRole('example.com'); // null $validator->hasMx('example@example.com'); // false $validator->hasMx('example@google.com'); // true $validator->hasMx('example.com'); // null ``` Contribute ---------- [](#contribute) Contributions welcome! ### Requirements [](#requirements) - [Test-driven development](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) - Follow [PSR-2 Coding Style Guide](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md) - One change per pull request ### Add/Remove Disposable Domain [](#addremove-disposable-domain) See the [email-data-disposable](https://github.com/nojacko/email-data-disposable) project. ### New Feature [](#new-feature) If you're planning a new feature, please raise an issue first to ensure it's in scope.
