PHP 5 & mail filter

Hi,

I've been playing with ' if(!filter_var( $email, FILTER_VALIDATE _EMAIL))
'
on my server and it seems to be working 100%. Pretty handy.

Any ideas where I could find a summary of the e-mail formats the filter
checks?

So far it's evading me. The Manual and w3schools just send me in
circles, and Google has been even less help so far. I'd probably be
happy if I could even find an RFC it was written against.

TIA,

Twayne

Finally! Meaningful, specific descriptions; thank you!

Strange; I've been all over that same site and not found those; the
English language version of that very same page doesn't include all of
that information. I have a feeling some cell heights got borked along
the line or something.
Maybe I should be looking at the Hungarian versions more often!
The real reason I asked the question though was for validation of the
information: some of the filters I'm testing aren't doing precisely what
the us3.php.net... table says they're doing and I thought they should
do. I'm pleased to be right, but confused too now<g>!

Thanks much, I'll likely be back!

Oeps, i did not notice the '/hu/' in the url.... ;-)

But i found another reason why this info is not on php.net

Its: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-list.php

This function returns a list of supported filters,

So its not upto PHP to give info on what the supported filters do, if
its a list which is returned from an external call ?

so, via:
http://www.google.nl/search?source=i...e+zoeken&meta=
i found:
http://nl3.php.net/filter
which brought me to:
http://devolio.com/blog/archives/413...-Part-one.html

happy reading... ;-)

Thanks, I came across that too. Too bad he hasn't gotten to part two
yet; might be some good info.
I find it interesting how little internal analytical information is
avalable for PHP, especially for its functions. Either no one but the
author knows, or it's an intentional ego thing where to see what's in
them you have to use process of elimination and check for reported bugs
against them, etc.. Kind of silly IMO. OH well, that's what makes life
intersting I suppose.

Cheers,

Twayne

Does anyone know how to do that? In my real project actually, I filter on two fields like this... bindingsource.filter = "col1='" & var1 & "' AND col2='" & var2 & "'" wherein var1 or var2 may contain a null value. Its just the same as if I want to show all records with null values. Any ideas?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
