@Srinivas The best way to check if an email exists or not is to send verification to that email address with some random verification code.
If the email is valid the user clicks the verification link or produce verification code and the email is verified.

Any email addresses using the .museum TLD would not validate using this RegExp.

@andreas beder – first of all this is not a incorrect regx at all. Furthermore, it is not the best email validation script also.Furthermore, filter_var() function is only available after PHP 5.2.0 in PHP

hi,
pls dont use this incorrect regex email validation scripts..
a valid email can be very complex thing..
i.e. !#$%&’*+-/=?^_`.{|}~@example.com is a valid email address.
i recommend php s filter ext for mail validation.
code example:
if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
looks very clean hm ?!

best regards

if you need to check weather the domain exist or not then you’ve to use getmxrr and fsockopen function to do this. You can better look at the following link which does the same for you.

[...] Email Validation in PHP By Roshan Well you’ve been asking why this person has posted the same stuff which you can find easily in google. Ya you are right you can get lots of scripts but many of them are not useful for me so far. They just validate the email like … Roshan Bhattarai’s Blog – PHP… – http://roshanbh.com.np [...]
