regex - Parse e-mail addresses with PHP?

Question

Similar to this question, how could I parse e-mail addresses which are in this format,

"Bob Smith" <[email protected]>, [email protected], "John Doe"<[email protected]>

And get the a result like this:

array(
    '[email protected]'=>'Bob Smith'
    '[email protected]'=>''
    '[email protected]'=>'John Doe'
);

Answer 1

Well, you could use mailparse_rfc822_parse_addresses(), which does exactly that. It's a PECL extension, so it might be easier to use Mail_RFC822::parseAddressList() as mentioned in the comments.
