Using getmxrr function

[Germaris]

Hi there!

 

In a registration form, I have an input field for entering the email address.

How do I use, in the verification process of the form, the getmxrr function to verify if the proposed email address really exists?

 

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Why not use fsockopen on the host on port 21(mail server)?

Hi!

Listen: I really am a junior in PHP.

Excuse me, but what you mentioned is like chinese for me!

 

Could you explain, please?

Thanks.

 

PS : I believed port 21 was a ftp Port...

Oh. yes, 25. : )

 

Here is an example of what I mean by using fsockopen to check the mail server,

<?php
// $Email will be the email address.

  function CheckEmail($Email)
  {
      if (empty($Email)) {
          return false;
      } else {
          list($UserEmail, $MailServer) = explode('@', $Email);
          unset($UserEmail);
          $Connection = fsochopen($MailServer, 25, $errno, $errstr, 30);
          if (empty($Connection)) {
              echo 'The email address you entered is not valid.';
              return false;
          } else {
              return true;
          }
      }
