You bring up some good points. After briefly speaking with Pierre the following came to light: * The default behavior of FILTER_VALIDATE_URL was changed at some point * FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_OPTIONAL should exist instead * Likely the same to create FILTER_FLAG_HOST_OPTIONAL, he'll look * So, at first glance, those two _REQUIRED constants have no meaning today As requested, this bug is being assigned to Pierre and he'll work on it this weekend. Thank you for the nice bug report :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-01 03:09:03] walter dot tom+php at gmail dot com Oops, for some reason lost the version number when I first submitted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-01 03:07:10] walter dot tom+php at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40675&edit=1
