ballhogjoni Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 is there a way to eliminate people from typing in a fake email to signup for my free video? Basically I hate it when people type in [email protected], [email protected], etc. I know these are fake email addy's, how can I test each email for validity before I allow them to continue to the next page? My logic I am thinking of: - send an email and get a response back - query the domain Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/88401-eliminate-fake-emails-from-signing-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
