PHP Version: OS:

 

 [2020-07-07 07:20 UTC] cyberline@php.net
Description:
------------
In all PHP Versions except 5.3.2 the following Script will return false for FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL while FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL does NOTHING to the input email.

While the Provided email is a valid return path, i excpect that VALIDATE_EMAIL will return the string provided and not false.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$email = '3e9.1c.4UB2NC76N436-3SP03.test-EW3LBM-M6H4BG-0-1.mobil.123456.989=test.de@smtp20.test.com';
var_dump(\filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));
var_dump($email === \filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL));

Expected result:
----------------
string(89) "3e9.1c.4UB2NC76N436-3SP03.test-EW3LBM-M6H4BG-0-1.mobil.123456.989=test.de@smtp20.test.com"
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
bool(true)

Well, this is not a bug.  FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL is documented[1]
to:

| Remove all characters except letters, digits and
| !#$%&'*+-=?^_`{|}~@.[].

while FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL rejects addresses with local parts of
more than 64 bytes (not yet documented, see bug #78598).
