Description:

If you use the filter_var function to test an email address, and the address 
starts with the '+' sign, it's marked as invalid, but it isn't.

Test script:
---------------
filter_var("+4654651651@test.com", FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)

Expected result:
----------------
Return the string and not false.

Actual result:

false

Unable to reproduce in 5.3/5.4:

php > echo filter_var("+4654651651@test.com", FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
+4654651651@test.com

Make sure you are actually trying this in 5.3. This may have been broken in 5.2, 
but was fixed years ago in 5.3.

More exactly, my version is: 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.11

I also get false, using PHP 5.3.2/Windows.

But according to the change log, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL was overhauled in PHP 5.3.3, in July 2010, after this bug report: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49576

Yes, this was fixed in July 2010 in 5.3.3.

Ok, I found it at: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49576 fixed in 5.3.3 release 
and open a bug in ubuntu to request to update it 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/929387). Thanks for help.
