cwarn23 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have searched all over the web but cannot find a php script that will check if an email address is a valid Windows Live ID address (msn address). The only download that I have found that comes close is at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E565FC92-D5F6-4F5F-8713-4DD1C90DE19F&displaylang=en#filelist but can't find any direct function within that script to detect weather the email address is a valid Windows Live ID. Does anybody know where I can find documentation or scripts for to check if an email address is a valid Windows Live ID?

uniflare Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 hmm, i had a little gander, i would suggest making them sign in, if the can then its valid, if they cant then... well, they dont have a windows live id. There is no way to tell wether the windows live id is in fact valid and working without attempting to use the service. You found what you were looking for imho, you ust eed to find a way to implement it into your code (btw this code is written in OOP if you didnt know, if your code isnt, i would start now ).

You found what you were looking for imho, you ust eed to find a way to implement it into your code (btw this code is written in OOP if you didnt know, if your code isnt, i would start now ). Just as I feared because the msn address/live id field I am using in my form is an optional field and though there might be an easy way for 100% accuracy validation. So I guess I will need to do it the old fashion way and use the preg_match method. BTW: I have been learning oop for php-gtk recently so using that msn download in my first post for other things on my website will be like a breeze as I should be able to isolate the oop programming to certain sections of the page by just calling objects. Or at least that is how I think it works. Thanks for the reply as there was no mention of it on the web.
