[phobos] isemail error handling

[Jacob Carlborg]

Yeah, I guess it's more of a "reason code" than error code. But it feels like going back to C, returning status codes and have to look them up in some kind of table.

The PHP function takes an error level parameter indicating what kind of error level you want. You can pass in a warning and error level and possible others as well. You can also turn the error handling completely off. If the error handling is turned off the function will only return "true" or "false" indicating if the email address is valid or not.
