Remote Email Address Validator
Hello,
Long time no post! I've been concentrating on my other projects lately so I have neglected to post on here 
However I come back with a nice little email validator 
Email addresses are changing all the time, and some people use shifty techniques to get around email validators. This means that a website owner has to update the regular expression code on all of their websites. However if the checking was done remotely, then there'd be no need to change it on all. You'd just have to change it at one place.
This is easy to implement into any website and I will provide it free for all
$_emailtocheck = "some@domain.com";
$_emailvalidationresult = file_get_contents("http://www.papaface.com/emailchecker/checker.php?email=".$_emailtocheck); // 0 = invalid 1 = valid
if (trim($_emailvalidationresult) == "1")
echo "Valid.";
else
echo "Invalid email address.";
?>
The trim($_emailvalidationresult) will equal either 1 or 0. Zero if the address is invalid, and 1 if the address is correct and can receive emails.
Let me know what you think

Copy to clipboard using javascript
In a current project i am working on, I need to be able to copy some posted content to my clipboard. Well I looked for a solution so I thought I’d show you….
This text will be copied onto the clipboard when you click the button below. Try it!
</SPAN> </span>
</TEXTAREA>
<BUTTON onClick="ClipBoard();">Copy to Clipboard</BUTTON></span>
We have a button here and a span that contains text that will be copied. The button is calling “ClipBoard();” . This is a function that we have written in javascript. It is below…
function ClipBoard()
{
holdtext.innerText = texttobecopied.innerText;
Copied = holdtext.createTextRange();
Copied.execCommand("Copy");
}
</SCRIPT>
This script reads the inner text of the span, we defined the span on the first line of the function…
and then holds it in the computers memory. You can assign when clicking an image to copy text or other data by just adding
To any Link,Image, script ect…
