[RESOLVED] Check String for http://

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 09.2007

I’m trying to check a string for http:// or https://

What would be the easiest way about doing this? If it doesn’t include that, I plan on inserting it to the beginning of the string.

Any advice will be gladly accepted. ?

@pcthugMay 10.2007 — If you are attempting to append the http protocol identifier to the beginning of strings that do not start with either http:// or https:// use:[code=php]$url = !preg_match('/^https?:///', $url) ? "http://$url" : $url;[/code]

@bokehMay 10.2007 — [code=php]$url_parsed = parse_url($url);
if ( empty($url_parsed['scheme']) )
{
$url = 'http://'.$url;
}[/code]This takes into account any valid protocol (such as [I]ftp://[/I]).
