Correct syntax to extract email address in 'autodiscover.php'

I need to extract the email address from "php://input" and render it within xml output – as part of the outlook ‘autodiscover.xml’ process. Working as expected, but I just need to pass the email address as the login name.

Here is the autodiscover.php I am working with, it works to pull the address, but I only get the username portion, not the entire UPN/address.

<?php
//get raw POST data so we can extract the email address
$raw = file_get_contents("php://input");
$matches = array();
preg_match('/<EMailAddress>([^@]+)@([^.]+).*</EMailAddress>/', $raw, $matches);

In the xml rendering code, these are the fields I am trying to populate with the entire email address, example [email protected]

This code renders only the "user123" as LoginName

<LoginName><?php echo $matches[1]; ?></LoginName>

<Domain><?php echo $matches[2]; ?></Domain>

I have tried $matches[0]; and it adds EMailAddress inline like so:

<LoginName>
<EMailAddress>[email protected]</EMailAddress>
</LoginName>

Is there a simple way to just pass the entire address for the ‘LoginName’ stanza?

What I have output with the above code:

<LoginName>user123</LoginName>

What I am trying to pass:

<LoginName>[email protected]</LoginName>

    i think there might be an issue with your regex? try this:

    preg_match('/<EMailAddress>([^<]+)</EMailAddress>/', $raw, $matches)

    Parsing XML with regular expressions is hard to get right and always unreliable, but it’s trivial with SimpleXML:

    $raw = '
<WhateverTheRootElementIs>
    <LoginName>
        <EMailAddress>[email protected]</EMailAddress>
    </LoginName>
</WhateverTheRootElementIs>
';

$xml = simplexml_load_string($raw);
echo $xml->LoginName->EMailAddress;
