Registering/adding users with an apostrophe in their email address (o'neil@domain.co.uk)
Permalink
Hi is there a way that email addresses with an apostrophe in them can be allowed for adding or registering users? At the moment am getting an error message ... Invalid email address provided.
Did you sort this out? I am having the same issue.
Did you have any success with this? Thanks

No, no success with this, can anyone assist?
Hello,
C5 checks emails for validity using a list of allowed characters. the apostrophe is not one of them. My guess is that although apostrophes are technically allowed in emails, their support is limited with some email providers rejecting them.
If you really want to allow the use of emails than you need to create a modified version of the file ROOT/concrete/core/helpers/validation/string.php
Modify the regex in the function email allow apostrophes.

How come this has not been solved yet? This post is from 2014 and I am a new user, facing this use now in 2018.
You must be using an old legacy version. This problem was solved a long time ago.
If you are still on a 5.6.x version you can solve the problem like this:
Find the file concrete\core\helpers\text.php
At line 128 you will find the function email() which looks like this
modify the $regex to be like this
and it will work

modify the $regex to be like this
$regex = '/[^a-zA-Z0-9_\.!#\$\&\'\*\+-?^`{|}~@]/i';
and it will work
