Disposable Email API | MailboxValidator

Introduction

Disposable Email API Sample Codes

<?php
$apiKey = 'Enter_License_Key';
$params['format']           = 'json';
$params['email']     = 'Enter_Email';

$query = '';

foreach($params as $key=>$value){
    $query .= '&' . $key . '=' . rawurlencode($value);
}

$try = 0;
do {
    ////////////
    //For https request, please make sure you have enabled php_openssl.dll extension.
    //
    //How to enable https
    //- Uncomment ;extension=php_openssl.dll by removing the semicolon in your php.ini, and restart the apache.
    //
    //In case you have difficulty to modify the php.ini, you can always make the http request instead of https.
    ////////////
