Validate URL

By kendre_paresh on 16 Nov 2007 at 10:39 UTC

Hello All,

I have to validate the URL, am using the "valid_url" API from DRUPAL.

	if (valid_url($webURL)) {
		$message = "Invalid Web URL";
		form_set_error('url', $message);
	}

If i try http://yahoo.com it shows me error, whereas its valid URL.

I think this is not working for me.

Please tell me, how i have to invoke, or am wrong somewhere?

The valid_url function checks for both absolute and relative URLs - and it defaults to relative.

Please update you code to

if (valid_url($webURL, TRUE)) {
  $message = "Invalid Web URL";
  form_set_error('url', $message);
}

Paddy.

Paddy.
