var email error

i use he filter_var php function to validate email address when a user sign up to my site

so i use this code form the post:

$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

then later i do:

if(!$email) {
  // return to the form 
}
else {
  // send registration info
}

now when i var_dump($email)

output:

string(23) "user."name"@example.com"

i would like to know why this not return false, i think the double quotes are not acceptable why PHP say it's valid?

It is a valid email address :

A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost chars of the local-part (eg abc."defghi".xyz@example.com or "abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. abc"defghi"xyz@example.com is not; neither is abc"def"ghi@example.com).

I had the same problem (see Dalmas on why it's valid) and here's how I fixed it:

filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

eg:

$email = 'user."name"@example.com';
$email = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

will output:

string(21) "user.name@example.com"

Then you can validate the email using your validation.

you can get more information on the php site
