Description:
------------
The local part of the email address is empty and the address should not validate at all.

Quote from RFC 5322 section 3.4.1 about double quote usage:

quoted-string = [CFWS] DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE [CFWS] qcontent = qtext / quoted-pair qtext = %d33 / ; Printable US-ASCII %d35-91 / ; characters not including %d93-126 / ; "\" or the quote character obs-qtext quoted-pair = ("\" (VCHAR / WSP)) / obs-qp

Quote from RFC 5322 section 3.4.1 about local-part:

local-part = dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part dot-atom = [CFWS] dot-atom-text [CFWS] dot-atom-text = 1*atext *("." 1*atext) quoted-string = [CFWS] DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE [CFWS] obs-local-part = word *("." word) word = atom / quoted-string atom = [CFWS] 1*atext [CFWS]

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(filter_var('""@php.net', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
string(""@php.net)

The behavior is in accordance with RFC 5322.

|  quoted-string = [CFWS]
|                  DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE
|                  [CFWS]

All parts except the two DQUOTEs are optional (see RFC 5234, 
especially section 3.6[1]), so the local part of an email address 
may consist of two quotes only.

After reading things more closely, you are right. Sorry for the report.
