#40676 [NEW]: Add FILTER_VALIDATE_URI (replacing FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)?

From: walter dot tom+php at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Add FILTER_VALIDATE_URI (replacing FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)? Description: ------------ It appears as of the fix for #39898 that support for validating relative URLs and URLs without a schema has been removed, without any option to allow them. I understand the reasoning is that the RFC specifies that a URL must include a schema and a host, which is fair enough. But it leaves the user with no simple way to validate domain names or relative URLs. So can I suggest that we add a FILTER_VALIDATE_URI type that would allow domains, relative paths, or full URLs? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40676&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40676&r=mysqlcfg
