Category: PHP Script Codes > Name Extractor
Some applications receive e-mail messages from users that do not specify their real name.

This class guesses the real name of a person from e-mail address by parsing and splitting it in possible names that make part of the person's real name.

It can parse given e-mail header line that should contain a person name and attempts to extract the person name from it.

The class uses heuristics to evaluate common ways people put their names in e-mail addresses to split the person names in its multiple parts.

A dictionary of common names is used to ensure accuracy of the extracted name.
