Doc #64173 [Opn->Fbk]: filter_var filter_validate_url incorrect

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64173&edit=1 ID: 64173 Updated by: salathe@php.net Reported by: retze dot faber at gmail dot com Summary: filter_var filter_validate_url incorrect -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Documentation Problem Package: Filter related Operating System: debian squeeze PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 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.

"<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
