PHP has built in functions which might make this process easier to implement. something like: to first Sanitize an email variable; $emailAddress = filter_var($emailAddress, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

then to Validate an email type; $emailAddress = filter_var($emailAddress, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

Just a suggestion as I found these functions a few days ago 😁 👍
