If you use your own (U)(G)UID generator for unique identifiers, say UserGUID or WidgetGUID or whatnot, there is very little chance you are ever going to need to use something like `md5(time())` or `bin2hex(random_bytes(5))` or whatever.

Using just a very basic (and all lowercase) `a-z` & `0-9` combination will result in a 36 character string.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 = 36 characters

If we take those 36 characters to the `power of` we get the follow possible unique vales:

[1] = 36
[2] = 1,296

// too many php developers use the example on the php `strstr` page:
// http://php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php
// Yet, amazingly, the following is a valid email address:
// foo@bar@domain.tld
// If you use the example on the strstr page you end up with:
// @bar@domain.tld -- which is of course not what you want.
// So what is a fast and extremely low memory method to return
// just the domain.tld when? The following seems to be the best.

$email = 'foo@bar@domain.tld';

/*
We live in a world where internationalization is becoming more and more important for website developers to be conscience of.

RTF standards are a mess, we can all agree on that.

Attempting to validate email addresses, based on RTF standards, is simply impossible if you want to accept non utf-8 formatted email addresses.

Never trust the browser to properly handle utf-8 parsing.

Never trust php to properly handle utf-8 parsing, it is usually worse than the big three browsers.
