Bug #64173 [Com]: filter_var filter_validate_url incorrect

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64173&edit=1 ID: 64173 Comment by: f21 dot groups at gmail dot com Reported by: retze dot faber at gmail dot com Summary: filter_var filter_validate_url incorrect Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Filter related Operating System: debian squeeze PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Just ran into this as well. I think there some further checking should be done in filter_var as http://http://www.google.com is not valid. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-02 17:51:01] retze dot faber at gmail dot com Changed to bug, cause I feel it should return false when I call it with http://http://www.google.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-02 14:30:45] salathe@php.net I don't see this as a documentation bug. This filter effectively just calls parse_url() on the value and looks to see if the resulting array makes some sense. Running "http://http://www.google.com" through parse_url() gives an array like array('scheme' => 'http', 'host' => 'http', 'path' => '//www.google.com'). If you feel this is a bug in the filter, please change the Bug Type to "bug". If you feel this is not a bug in the implementation, rather still a documentation problem then could you elaborate on what details you would like to be added or changed? A final option is to close off this report if you decide that this behaviour is now to be expected and there is no issue. Let us know what you think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-02-08 09:03:52] retze dot faber at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.filter-var --- http://http://www.google.com passes filter_var with FILTER_VALIDATE_URL Test script: --------------- $url = $_REQUEST['url']; if (filter_var("http://" . $url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) $filter="true"; else $filter="false"; echo "Filter var result of concat with http is:" . $filter . "<br>"; Expected result: ---------------- I expect it to return false when i run the script with http://www.google.com and true when i run it with www.google.com Actual result: -------------- It returns true in both cases ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64173&edit=1
