[pmwiki-users] test email adress

[PKHG]

Thanks Dave,
Indeed, you allow much more complicated e-mail addresses, e.g. special
characters.

Is there 'somewhere' an official definition, what e-mail addresses may look
like?

Checking for a valid email address can get very complex, to accommodate 
all scenarios. Here's what I use:

function bi_IsEmail($e){
	return (bool)preg_match(
	 
"/^[-_a-z0-9\'+*$^&%=~!?{}]++(?:\.[-_a-z0-9\'+*$^&%=~!?{}]+)*+@(?:(?![-.])[-
a-z0-9.]+(?<![-.])\.[a-z]{2,6}|\d{1,3}(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?::\d++)?$/iD"
		,$e);
}
