I'm working on a project which requires me to know with extremely high probability the availability of an e-mail account on a mail server (let's use Hotmail in this example.) I know that the VRFY command is often ignored (Hotmail says "I'll take a message" or something of the like when I try it,) so I'd like to know the best way to go ab...

However, this is an optional field. Therefore how can I change this regex to match an email address format, or an empty string? From my limited regex knowledge, I t...
I have seen on some sites where the user can simply send a blank e-mail to something like [email protected] to have their e-mail verified if they are having trouble getting the verification e-mail. I have a website with PHP/MySQL that I'd like to implement this same functionality, but I haven't done much with e-mail besides sending it s...
Consider the following script that contains obfuscated email addresses, and a function that attempts to replace them based with ***** by using regex pattern matching. My script attempts to catch the words: "at", "a t", "a.t", "@" followed by some text (any domain name), followed by "dot" "." "d.o.t", followed by a TLD. Input: $str[] = ...
I was just setting up the validation for a form in which I decided to try using the filter_var function to check the validity of my email address.

It makes the placeholder element work across browsers. The plugin still works on Firefox 3.6 but on Opera 10.61 and Chrome 6 the placeholder isn't rendered. <script type="text...
Hi! I'm very new to Regular Expressions, but I thought it'd be the best way to validate email addresses entered on my form. My Regex works, except if the email address entered has an underscore character (_) in it. Because of my lack of experience with regular expressions, I'm not sure where in my pattern I'm supposed to add the offen...
