PHP email validation function
php
Solution
You can use `filter_var` to validate the e-mail address:
if (!filter_var($address, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
// invalid e-mail address
}
Problem
Is there an equivalent to mysql_real_escape_string() for email injection? I have a form where the user submits their email. I am afraid that someone could insert a comma separated list of emails and use my site for spamming.
