[BUG] email Validation allows spaces

[jLynx]

• Laravel Version: 9.46.0
• PHP Version: 8.2.0

Description:

When using the email validation (https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/validation#rule-email), it allows white spaces which it should not allow as that is not a valid email address.

Steps To Reproduce:

$request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:user|confirmed',
        ]);

This currently will pass and be valid if you enter in the address test @example.com when in fact it should fail as it contains a space between test and @.

As mentioned in here, it can be fixed by using email:strict. I think this should be included in the documentation here https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/validation#rule-email. So for that reason I will keep this issue open for now.

Closing this as I was looking at the wrong documentation, I was looking at 5.2 instead of 9. Its correctly listed here https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/validation#rule-email
