advancedemailvalidator Follow @yiiframework

This extension is a small modification of the original CEmailValidator class. I've build in a top-level-domain check based on the offical list available here.

Things to mention ¶

Since the top-level-domains will get fetched from an external source, you have to define a cache component in the config in order to use this extension. cacheID defaults to "cache".

The tld's will get cached for 24 hours. If they couldn't get fetched from iana.org for some reason, we use a fallback pattern to validate an email address. This fallback pattern works basically like the one from the original CEmailValidator class. It will get cached for 1 hour - we don't want to flood iana.org =)

I have removed the fullPattern and allowName attributes from the original class since I've not get it to work properly.

I may update this extension from time to time for some enhancements.
