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.
