PHP regexp US address

Question

I\'m trying to see what would be a good way to validate a US address, I know that there might be not a proper way of doing this, but I\'m going for the basic way: #

Answer 1

This is not a bulletproof solution but the assumption is that an address begins with a numeric for the street number and ends with a zip code which can either be 5 or 9 numbers.

([0-9]{1,} [\s\S]*? [0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?)

Like I said, it's not bulletproof, but I've used it with marginal success in the past.
