How to use is_email()
---------------------
1. Add the downloaded file is_email.php to your project
1. In your scripts use it like this:

```php
require_once 'is_email.php';
if (is_email($email)) echo "$email is a valid email address";
```

1. If you want to return detailed diagnostic error codes then you can ask
is_email to do so. Something like this should work:

```php
require_once 'is_email.php';
$email = '[email protected]';
$result = is_email($email, true, true);

if ($result === ISEMAIL_VALID) {
echo "$email is a valid email address";
} else if ($result < ISEMAIL_THRESHOLD) {
echo "Warning! $email has unusual features (result code $result)";
} else {
echo "$email is not a valid email address (result code $result)";
}
```

1. Example scripts are in the extras folder
