Here's one such piece of press: http://www.talkincode.com/php-filter-filter_validate_url-limitations- 124.html Ideally FILTER_VALIDATE_URL would behave as most would expect, and that's checking if an URL is valid... as most people do with long-ish regular expressions. Please also provide tips for how this should be documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50562&edit=1
