Blog: PHP Email Validation Quality package blog
Package: PHP Email Validation Quality
Checking an e-mail address for the proper format is the first and most common method used to determine if an address is valid.
To really put it to the test, we need to take it a step further using real time verification to check DNS records and SMTP servers while excluding known disposable e-mail providers.
While PHP provides some functions for the basic tasks, there is a need to implement more advanced verification to avoid using addresses that are not valid.
Read this article to learn how to implement more advanced verification methods using the MailboxLayer API and the PHP Email Validation Quality package.
