FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

An extensible email validation library for PHP 7+
The aim of this library is to offer a more detailed email validation report than simply checking if an email is the valid format, and also to make it possible to easily add custom validations.
Currently this tool checks the following:
| Validation | Description |
|---|---|
| MX records | Checks if the email's domain has valid MX records |
| Valid format | Validates e-mail addresses against the syntax in RFC 822, with the exceptions that comments and whitespace folding and dotless domain names are not supported (as it uses PHP's filter_var()). |
| Email Host | Checks if the email's host (e.g gmail.com) is reachable |
| Role/Business Email^ | Checks if the email is a role/business based email (e.g [email protected]). |
| Disposable email provider^ | Checks if the email is a disposable email (e.g [email protected]). |
| Free email provider^ | Checks if the email is a free email (e.g [email protected]). |
| Misspelled Email ^ | Checks the email for possible typos and returns a suggested correction (e.g [email protected] -> [email protected]). |
^ Data used for these checks can be found here
Installation
Usage
Quick Start
Expected output:
Adding Custom Validations
To add a custom validation simply extend the EmailValidation\Validations\Validator class and implement the getResultResponse() and getValidatorName() methods. You then register the validation using the EmailValidation\EmailValidator->registerValidator() method.
Example code
// Validations/GmailValidator.php
// file-where-you-are-doing-your-validation.php
The expected output will be:
Running in Docker
You can then validate an email by navigating to http://localhost:[email protected]. The result will be JSON string as per above.
Adding a custom data source
You can create your own data provider by creating a data provider class which implements the EmailValidation\EmailDataProviderInterface.

FAQ
Is this validation accurate?
No, none of these tests are 100% accurate. As with any email validation there will always be false positives & negatives. The only way to guarantee an email is valid is to send an email and solicit a response. However, this library is still useful for detecting disposable emails etc., and also acts as a good first line of defence.
Can I manually update the disposable email provider data?
Yes, this project relies on this great repository for its list of disposable email providers. To fetch the latest list from that repo you can run
from the command line. This will fetch the data and save it to ./src/data/disposable-email-providers.php
