 In addition your content type in your post is incorrect.

 Your header contains

 Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
 boundary=00151747b53cf2927204a6a46ebb

 But its not multipart. This happens a lot in this group and I dont
 experience it elsewhere so I dont know if its a php programmer thing,
 an gmane artifact or something the mailing list does.

I couldn't see anything in RFC2046, section 5.1.4, to suggest that 
multipart/alternative *requires* that there be more than one part. And why does 
it matter, anyway?

    // $ary[0] is the protocol

Shawn meant to use parse_url() in place of your explode statement.  He didn't
say to use parse_url() as a method to validate the url.

He said it would make more sense to do the following.

Also, use strict type matching if you want to compare against boolean(FALSE)

$allowed = array('http', 'https');

$scheme = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_SCHEME);

if (FALSE === in_array($scheme, $allowed) {
  // Protocol not valid!
  exit(1); // or return FALSE; whatever...
}

Seems a little less muddy to me.

No, because http:// is not a URL, it's a scheme or protocol.

In mailing lists and usenet you should never top post. You integrate
your reply or follow up.  This is well documented and makes sense in
tech threads were context is everything.

In adidition your content type in your post is incorrect.

Your header contains

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=00151747b53cf2927204a6a46ebb

But its not multipart. This happens a lot in this group and I dont
experience it elsewhere so I dont know if its a php programmer thing,
