Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php They are not allowed. Browser often (not all do that btw.) translate them in the adressbar for convenience but that's far off from any standard. RFC3986 specifies a URI to conatain only ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" / "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG / "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" where ALPHA is defined as a-zA-Z and DIGIT as 0-9. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-01 20:15:29] j dot jeising at gmail dot com Description: ------------ FILTER_VALIDATE_URL rejects URLs with umlauts in the path.
