I have form here and I would like to accept only GMail Email address.
This is the part of the form.
function is_email($email){
$x = '\d\w!\#\$%&\'*+\-/=?\^_`{|}~'; //just for clarity
return count($email = explode('@', $email, 3)) == 2
&& strlen($email[0]) < 65
&& strlen($email[1]) < 256
&& preg_match("#^[$x]+(\.?([$x]+\.)*[$x]+)?$#", $email[0])
&& preg_match('#^(([a-z0-9]+-*)?[a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}.?$#', $email[1]);
}
elseif (!is_email($Email)) {
$resultado = "Please, use a valid email address. (Required for account activation)<br><br> <a href=javascript:history.go(-1)>Go back!</a>";
}
I already tried "explode ('@gmail.com', $email, 3)) == 2" but get me some error instead.
You just need to check if the string ends with "@gmail.com":
/**
* Check if an email is a Gmail address
* @param string $email The email address to check
* @return boolean
*/
function isGmail($email) {
$email = trim($email); // in case there's any whitespace
return mb_substr($email, -10) === '@gmail.com';
}
I'm using mb_substr
here but alternatively you can use substr
.
