#40675 [NEW]: Documentation for FILTER_VALIDATE_URL appears out of date

From: walter dot tom+php at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Documentation for FILTER_VALIDATE_URL appears out of date Description: ------------ The current documentation for FILTER_VALIDATE_URL (http://www.php.net/filter) mentions flags for FILTER_FLAG_HOST_REQUIRED and FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED, which suggest that an input that doesn't include a host or scheme such as a relative URL SHOULD validate as long as it doesn't include those flags. However they do not. Reproduce code: --------------- $var = filter_var('/mypath.html', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL); $var = filter_var('google.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL); Expected result: ---------------- Both return false, however given the current documentation, one would expect them to return true. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40675&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40675&r=mysqlcfg
