Validate email address
📝 PHP
This PHP snippet quickly validates an email address using PHP's built-in filtervar function with the FILTERVALIDATEEMAIL flag.
PHP
function validateEmail($email) { return filtervar($email, FILTERVALIDATEEMAIL);
}
$email = 'user@example.com';
if (validateEmail($email)) { echo "Valid email";
} else { echo "Invalid email";
}

yeah, filtervar is definitely the way to go for quick validation. just keep in mind it only checks format, not if the email actually exists.
