Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51616&edit=1 ID: 51616 Updated by: preinheimer@php.net Reported by: bugs dot php at luden dot se Summary: FILTER_VALIDATE_URL undocumented. Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: We follow: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt Any differences between that spec and observed results should be filed as bugs against the feature. I'll update the doc page once I remember how. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-28 03:03:37] preinheimer@php.net This is an interesting question, I'll see who I can bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-29 11:19:54] pierrotevrard at gmail dot com I notice that some flags like FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION or FILTER_FLAG_PATH_REQUIRED are missing on this page... Perhaps, it should be a good idea to say that there is more flags in the predefined constants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-20 18:49:49] bugs dot php at luden dot se Description: ------------ Manual page: <http://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php> The description for FILTER_VALIDATE_URL says "Validates value as URL, optionally with required components.". It is not documented which specification (such as RFC 3986) it validates against. Without any way to determine what the filter is supposed to do, it is entirely useless for anything but toy programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51616&edit=1
