Code Examples / Notes » mailparse_rfc822_parse_addresses

To just extract the email address out of an RFC822 line, it's faster and more reliable to just use a simple regex such as: <?php $rfc = '"Bob Smith" <bob@smith.com>'; preg_match('/[\\w\\.\\-+=*_]*@[\\w\\.\\-+=*_]*/', $rfc , $regs); $parsed = $regs[0]; ?> The above code will pull out: bob@smith.com No matter the variation of the RFC822 line, as long as there's a valid email address in it somewhere, the above regex will find it.

If for some reason you cannot compile mailparse into your install of PHP, you will also find an extremely similar function in the Mail_MIME PEAR class, specifically in mimeDecode.php.

An alternative to the mailparse_rfc822_parse_addresses() function is Mail_RFC822::parseAddressList() from Pear: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.php It parses the string and returns a structured tree of data. Returns a pear_error object if the string is not valid. Example: require_once "PEAR.php"; require_once "Mail/RFC822.php"; $addr= "Hi <hi@world.org>"; $res= Mail_RFC822::parseAddressList($addr); if (PEAR::isError($res)) die("NOT VALID: " . $res->getMessage() . "\n"); echo "OK. Data:\n"; print_r($res);
