How to block certain email domain when signing up on my form (php)

Question

Right now all that happens is that it will always say email banned

My code

//email validation
    $email = htmlspecialchars_decode($_POST['email'], ENT_QUOTES);
  $domain_name = substr(strrchr($email, "@"), 1);
    $domainBlock = 'example.org';
    echo "Domain name is : " . $domain_name;

  if ($domain_name = $domainBlock) {
    $error[] = 'Website Down For Maintenance';
  }

change `$domain_name = $domainBlock` to `$domain_name == $domainBlock`, one sign of `=` is assigning — Daniel Krom, Aug 30 '18 at 18:24

You're missing = sign in the last if statement.

It should be

if ($domain_name == $domainBlock) {
    $error[] = 'Website Down For Maintenance';
}

You might want to change that to `==` instead of `-=` – Forbs Aug 30 '18 at 19:42
Oh the irony :D – Jack Robson Aug 30 '18 at 19:44
Thank you it works, just wondering what is the difference beetween = and ==, I am doing this in study hall and for some reason my school has php.net blocked – Prova Aug 31 '18 at 16:12
