Email Extractor

Extract in array ALL valid email addresses from a string or string array. This library also includes a few helper methods to modify the output array.

Installation

composer require donchev/email-extractor

Object Instantiation

EmailExtractor object accept 2 optional parameters in it's __constructor() method:

  • array|null $filter An array of words used for filtering matched emails. If not passed to the constructor, an empty array is used when/if filterAsc() or filterDesc() is called.
  • string|null $regex A valid regex that match an email address. If not passed to the constructor, the default build-in regex will be used. (NOTE: It is recommended to use the build-in regex, except if you know what you are doing.)

Simple Usage

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$extractor = new EmailExtractor();

$content = file_get_contents("email.eml");

$emails = $extractor
    ->extract($content)
    ->export();

Advanced usage

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$filter = ['@gmail.com', 'allen']
$content = ["[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]", "[email protected]"];

$extractor = new EmailExtractor($filter);

$emails = $extractor
    ->extractAll($content)
    ->filterInclude()
    ->lower()
    ->unique()
    ->sortDesc()
    ->export();
Output:
array (size=2)
  0 => string '[email protected]' (length=16)
  1 => string '[email protected]' (length=16)

Method chaining design pattern

Email Exporter library uses method chaining. You should follow one simple rule:

  • extract() OR extractAll() method SHOULD be called first.

Otherwise, EmailExtractorException will be thrown.

Helper methods

There are a few helper methods build-in. These can be called after extract()/extractAll().

Methods

Option Name Argument Description
unique() Remove all duplicates from the extracted emails. [case sensitive]
lower() Convert all extracted emails to lowercase.
upper() Convert all extracted emails to uppercase.
filterExclude() (optional) array of strings to filter against It excludes from the list all emails that are matched against the filter array. If array is not passed as argument it checks if there is filter array passed to the constructor. [case sensitive]
filterInclude() (optional) array of strings to filter against It excludes from the list all emails that are not matched against the filter array. If array is not passed as argument it checks if there is filter array passed to the constructor. [case sensitive]
sortAsc() Sort extracted emails list alphabetically. [ascending]
sortDesc() Sort extracted emails list alphabetically. [descending]
