For Multiple Emails

$expressions = 
"/(gmail|googlmail|yahoo|hotmail|aol|msn|live|rediff|outlook|facebook)/";
if (preg_match($expressions, $input_email)) {
    throw error   
}

Dunno about best method, but here is one method for checking a gmail address using stristr.

if (stristr($email, '@gmail.com') !== false) {
    echo 'Gmail Address!';
}

As for pulling out the username there are a ton of functions as well, one could be explode:

$username = array_shift(explode('@', $email));

There are many ways to do it, the best depends on your needs.

list($user, $domain) = explode('@', $email);

if ($domain == 'gmail.com') {
    // use gmail
}

echo $user;
// if $email is [email protected] then $user is toto
