Bug #51660 [NEW]: FILTER_VAR returns FALSE on valid-Urls containing a minus sign

From: Operating system: Linux 2.6.25.20 (openSuse 11.0) PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Filter related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:FILTER_VAR returns FALSE on valid-Urls containing a minus sign Description: ------------ PHP 5.3.2 (cli) Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.0.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2008, by Derick Rethans FILTER_VAR returns false on valid URL's such "http://www.sky-bizz.com". Without minus-sign it will return the string as positive result. In Bug-Search I found the hint, that it already would be fixed in 5.2.13. It seems, that in 5.3.2 this bug was born again Test script: --------------- $url = "http://www.sky-bizz.com"; var_dump(filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)); Expected result: ---------------- string "http://www.sky-bizz.com" Actual result: -------------- bool (false) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51660&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51660&r=mysqlcfg
