Description:
------------
While perusing the source code of the Filter extension, I noticed what I believe to be an inconsistency between php_filter_validate_email() and php_filter_email().

php_filter_validate_email() is locale-dependent (via \w in the regexp) for the local-part of an email address.

php_filter_email() is not locale-dependent.

This means that php_filter_validate_email() may allow characters (such as accent characters) that php_filter_email() won't.

I'm just checking back and noticed that there has been no reponse to this.

I'm curious- is this a bug or correct behavior?

Yes, I'm also not sure about this issue. In theory, the sanitizing filters do not validate the format but only clean up the data using a set of allowed characters for a given data type.

Logical filters validate the data and will return false if the format is not respected.

In short, we have read your report but were not sure about the best fix. It was not critical for 5.2.0 but we did not forget it :)

PECL/filter has been superseeded by ext/filter, so this issue
would affect FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL vs. FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL, but
it has already been resolved at least as of PHP 5.2.17, see
<https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.2/ext/filter/logical_filters.c#L525>.
