It will be back soon. Anyway, thanks for the heads up! @Siegfried: No problem, it is good to have a German CakePHP blog :) @David: Thanks for this hint. I think the "problem" is that something like http://. is in fact a valid url. So in practice you probably have to perform some additional checks to ensure a stricter url format... @all: Thanks for your comments!

But just saw this: "It seems that all FILTER_VALIDATE_URL is doing is calling parse_url(), which makes it effectively useless since parse_url() only fails on really malformed urls. <code><?php $url = 'http://...'; var_dump(filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)); ?></code> Will display: string(10) "http://..." None of the flags help either, so you're better off with regular expressions to validate a url."

“It seems that all FILTER_VALIDATE_URL is doing is calling parse_url(), which makes it effectively useless since parse_url() only fails on really malformed urls.

<?php
$url = 'http://...';

var_dump(filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));
?>

Will display: string(10) “http://…”
