#38708 closed enhancement (fixed)

Unify email length checks

Description

Right now, the comment form checks for 6 characters minimum for email addresses. In #38506, we updated the REST API to do the same.

We should update is_email() to include this check, or change the other checks to match is_email(). It makes no real sense to have the check in two places.

@lukecavanagh Yep, specifically this line checking for length > 3 should be changed to > 6.

#7 @rachelbaker

  • Keywords has-unit-tests added; needs-testing removed

In 38708.2.diff I added tests and removed the extra string length check and comments from r39158.
Can probably also remove the string length check in wp_handle_comment_submission()

38708.patch removes the length check in wp_handle_comment_submission(). I also noticed a length check in sanitize_email(). Updated that one to 6 for consistency.

38708.2.patch just removes an unnecessary whitespace change from 38708.patch

#12 @rachelbaker

  • Owner set to rachelbaker
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

In 40667:

Formatting: Increase minimum characters allowed in is_email() to 6.

Brings the minimum characters expected for a valid email address to six, which matches the expectations in wp_handle_comment_submission() and REST API email arguments.

Props rmccue, lukecavanagh, rachelbaker, desrosj, sudar.
Fixes #38708.
