space in quoted string in email is treated as not valid - lukmim - 07-20-2021
this is just a tiny nitpick: emails containing spaces in quoted strings are treated by CI4 as not valid (using the "valid_email" validation)
Code:
"Fred Bloggs"@example.comRE: space in quoted string in email is treated as not valid - paliz - 07-20-2021
Usally email dont have a double quotation

Thats an illegal email address.

why? it's a direct example from the RFC.
Also:
Quote:If quoted, it may contain Space
Quote:space and special characters "(),:;<>@[\] are allowed with restrictions (they are only allowed inside a quoted string
Quote:Examples
Valid email addresses
" "@example.org (space between the quotes)

The valid_email rule uses PHP's native filter_var with FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL flag. If the quoted email fails here, then PHP itself does not support the RFC fully.
You can submit a PR to accomodate these edge cases.
