✉️ E-Mail Address Validator for PHP
===================================

[](#envelope-e-mail-address-validator-for-php)

### Warning

[](#warning)

The best way to validate an e-mail address is still to send a duplicate opt-in-mail, when the user clicks on the link, it was a valid e-mail address!

### Installation

[](#installation)

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

```
$ composer require voku/email-check
```

### Usage:

[](#usage)

Example 1:

```
$emailCheck = EmailCheck::isValid("lars@moelleken.org");

// true

```

Example 2: (check for example-domain)

```
$emailCheck = EmailCheck::isValid("lars@example.com", true);

// false

```

Example 3: (check for typo in domain)

```
$emailCheck = EmailCheck::isValid("lars@-tonline.de", false, true);

// false

```

Example 4: (check for temporary-domain)

```
$emailCheck = EmailCheck::isValid("lars@30minutemail.com", false, false, true);

// false

```

### Unit Test:

[](#unit-test)

1. [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) is a prerequisite for running the tests.
