Have a look at this:
function ValidateUrl($url) {
// Check the syntax
if
(!preg_match("!((https?|ftp)://)(www\.)?([a-zA-Z0-9/\-]*)+\.([a-zA-Z0-9/\-]*
)+([a-zA-Z0-9/\-\.]*)?!", $url)) {
return false;
}
// If it's correct, then try and open it
if (!@fopen($url, "r")) {
return false;
}
what are you trying to do?

First of all, web server hostnames don't need to start with
I'm still playing about trying to validate an url
www(dot)something(dot)something !
I thought this would work but know
if (ereg("^(w{3})(\\.)([a-zA-Z]+)(\\.)([a-z]{2,4})$", $str))
can anyone explain why not ???
^(w{3}) = three w at start of string ??
(\\.) = literal dot ??
([a-zA-Z]+) match
6 matches
