ChemicalBliss Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 With sending a verifiable email to that specific email address, there is no way of knowing if it truly exists unless you have access to the Database that contains the names configured for that domain. The Domain however you can check quite thoroughly. You can use a WHOIS (id reccomend using a specialized Class). or you can just ckeck if it exists by asking for an ip address (one simple function does this in PHP). -CB- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 ya as u said we need to write the php script to deal with whois server. Simply checking the domain exists is no guarantee the email address exists. What your asking isn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply checking the domain exists is no guarantee the email address exists. What your asking isn't possible. You can check to see if the domain in the e-mail has an MX record (not that the physical address exists, but that is a valid acceptable address) list($Email, $domain) = split("@", $Email, 2); if (! checkdnsrr($domain, "MX")) { die('E-mail does not exist') }else { $array = array($Email, $domain); $Email = implode("@", $array); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemicalBliss Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 It's great youve got this far bud but if you want real-time reaction or conditioning then you need to use AJAX/Java, i'd suggest reading one of the millions of tutorials out there on google. Here, this will help you quicker and easier than here. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=PHP+User+Registration+Tutorial (Note: These forums are for helping fix your code, unfortunately you need to understand the basic structure of how php works and what you can do with it. For that, you need a dedicated tutorial for your level.) -CB- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIrish BM Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hi ChemicalBliss i don't want to check the login details but i need to check on domain for ex:- girishbm.gowda@gmail.com , if user enters this it should check in google like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oni-kun Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hi ChemicalBliss i don't want to check the login details but i need to check on domain for ex:- girishbm.gowda@gmail.com , if user enters this it should check in google like that There isn't a method of really doing this. Gmail uses MX records in a way that makes it impossible to view if the client e-mail exists or not. Only person.foo@randomsite.com will normally work. There's no reliable way to check if the e-mail exists, That is why confirmation e-mails are sent by almost every software that exists.

jl5501 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 There are 2 reasons why a confirm email is sent. 1 is as has been said, due to the near impossibility of determining programmatically if an address exists at a domain. 2 is because not only do we want to check that the address exists, but that the person registering has access to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
