Allow IDNs in Email-Validation

[mdv]

Hi. Currently Quform seems not to allow IDNs for Email-Addresses. That’s rather annoying as there are users that are using such Email-Addresses in our setup. Any chance to get around that issue?

Thanks

I’d love to use the RegEx validator, but I seem not to be able to add that to the Email-field. In the advanced settings I can only add an Email-Validator. There’s no RegEx-Validator available. What am I doing wrong?

Great!

I’ve also found a way to validate IDN-emails thanks to http://sabel.bluegfx.de/tag/umlaute/.

    function _validate_email($valid, $value, $element){
        $parts = explode('@', $value);
        if (2 != count($parts)) {
            $element->addError('hard to image an email-address without an @');
            return false;
        } 
    
        if (! filter_var($parts[0] . '@' . idn_to_ascii($parts[1]), FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
            $valid = false;
            $element->addError('please provide a valid email-address');
        }
        return $valid;
    }

Only drawback is that it requires the intl-package in PHP…
