#42353 [NEW]: FILTER_VALIDATE_URL rejects umlaut-domains

From: fumble1 at web dot de Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Filter related Bug description: FILTER_VALIDATE_URL rejects umlaut-domains Description: ------------ The regexp used for validating URLs rejects umlaut domains -- umlaut domains are legal nowadays, so filter should support them... since IE6 does NOT support them, I'd suggest adding a new flag, like FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_UMLAUTS. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // Domäne: German for domain // domäne.de actually exists $url = 'http://www.domäne.de/'; var_dump(filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(21) "http://www.domäne.de/" Actual result: -------------- bool(false) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42353&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42353&r=mysqlcfg
