Re: Regex for Validating URL

Hello, From: "Nick Wilson" <nick@stylesheet.org>

Does anyone have the regex to make sure an http address is full and without error? like http://www.example.com

Usually I use this expression: '^(http|https)\://(([-!#\$%&\'*+.0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~^?]+\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,6})(\:[0-9]+)?(/)?/' You may also want to try this forms generation and validation class that comes with special URL auto-completion field support so you can do for instance simply type www.php.net and it automatically expand to http://www.php.net/ and conform to a more strict validation expression like the above without making the user type it all. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
