From: apokryfos84 at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.6.18 Package: Filter related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:FILTER_VALIDATE_URL uses an obsolete URI RFC Description: ------------ According to http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php "Validates value as URL (according to » http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2396)" However RFC 2396 has been made obsolete by RFC 3986. This results in several valid RFC 3986 URIs to not validate correctly, (e.g. protocol agnostic URLs). Test script: --------------- echo filter_var("https://example.com/path/to/resource?query=param",FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)?"yes":"no"; // Echoes yes echo filter_var("//example.com/path/to/resource?query=param",FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)?"yes":"no"; // Echoes no but should echo yes as per section 4.2 of RFC 3986 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71576&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71576&r=mysqlcfg
