Extract Email Addresses From Text with PHP

September 29, 2022September 29, 2022 by Aman Mehra

Hello friends, today in this trick, I will show you how you can extract email addresses from long text with the help PHP code script.

We will use the preg_match_all() function to extract the email addresses from the text, string or long paragraph.

// text to extract emails
$text = "Hey! this is my personal email aman@gmail.com and this is my official email admin@yourblogcoach.com";

// pattern to check an email
$pattern = "/[\._a-zA-Z0-9-]+@[\._a-zA-Z0-9-]+/i";

// search match the email pattern
preg_match_all($pattern, $text, $matches);

// print the list of valid emails
foreach($matches[0] as $email) {
	echo $email."<br>";
}

Output

[email protected]
[email protected]

You can convert this PHP snippet into a function and then pass any text in the function as an argument and extract all valid email addresses from the text.

Being Tricky 😉
