In short: FILTER_VALIDATE_URL validates according to RFC 2396, which does not cater to IDNs. I'm changing to feature request.

Test script: --------------- <?php $url = "http://www.example.com/אבג"; if(!filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) { echo "Invalid URL"; } else { echo "Valid URL"; } ?> will output "Invalid url", but it is a valid url.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69501&edit=1
