Email Address Validate 4 Levels JavaScript PHP Verify
4 different levels of email address validation and verification using JavaScript and PHP. Email address formatting validation can occur on both the client-side and the server-side, but the client-side checks should not be the only validation.

<script>
function isValidEmail(addr){
var result = false;
if(addr.indexOf("@") > -1 && addr.indexOf(".") > -1) {
result = true;
}
return result;
}
var address = "namepart@domainpart.com";
alert( isValidEmail(address) );
</script>
<script>
function isValidEmail(addr){
var regex = /^([w-]+(?:.[w-]+)*)@((?:[w-]+.)*w[w-]{0,66}).([a-z]{2,6}(?:.[a-z]{2})?)$/i;
var result = false;
if ( regex.test(addr) ){
