I'm impressed.
The php routine passed [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is real), but failed [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(which is not real).
What's needed is a javascript routine to do the same thing, but it
would require a trip to the server to check the domain. As such, I
would use AJAX to trigger this php routine to provide validation --
that might prove interesting, huh? Apparent real-time validation --
hmmm, I'm going to think about that.
The php routine also passed [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is real -- but
it's interesting that most email (if not all) programs cannot show
the domain name correctly, which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have yet to find an
email program that can show IDNS correctly.
