从电子邮件地址获得大学

Question

Basically what I am trying to accomplish is trying to take one's email address say JoeRandom@harvard.edu and try to get what school they goto from it (In this case Harvard University would be returned). I was wondering if there is some sort of database somewhere that could be used to check the domain. Basically just cross checking the domain to see what school it belongs to.

Worst case scenario, I could check against other users in my database with that domain and what school they goto but that would require the first user registering with that domain to enter their University.

Answer 1

Hay if you wanted you could try and put the data out of a site like http://www.topuniversities.com/ . It has all the contact info for all the universities in the word.

Answer 2

Here you go. All working and ready to go. Validates your emails.

<?php

$email = 'someone@harvard.edu';
$domain = substr( $email, strpos( $email, '@' )+1, strlen( $email ) );
$school = substr ( $domain, 0, strpos( $domain, '.' ) );

echo '<p>' . $domain . ': <b>' . ucwords( $school ) . '</b></p>';

preg_match_all( '/\((.*)\)/', strip_tags( file_get_contents( 'http://doors.stanford.edu/universities.html' ) ), $unilist );
$unilist = $unilist[1];

if ( in_array( $domain, $unilist ) ) {

    echo '<p>This is a verified domain!</p>';

}

?>
