README

PHP 5.4+ library to make working with Email safer, easier, and fun!

Installation

The recommended way to install Email is through Composer:

{
    "require": {
        "black/email": "@stable"
    }
}

Protip: You should browse the black/email page to choose a stable version to use, avoid the @stable meta constraint.

Usage

Usage is simple. Just create a new EmailEmail, if your email is invalid an Email\Exception\InvalidEmailEmailException will be thrown. Be aware of this, the validation is on the format, not on a A or MX record in a valid DNS.

$email = new Email\EmailEmail("foo@bar.com");
$email->getValue(); // return foot@bar.com
$email->getValueAsArray() // return ['recipient' => "foo", 'domain' => "bar", 'tld' => "com"]

List of available getters

• getValue()
• getValueAsArray()
• getRecipient()
• getDomain()
• getTld()

Check if two email are equals

isEqualTo(Email\EmailEmail $email): Check if two emails are equals
