Form validation url-check

[eluser]djalilk[/eluser]
Hi,

If you are using PHP5 simply add this function to your controller

Code:

function valid_urls($str) {

if(!filter_var($str, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))

  {

$this->validation->set_message('valid_urls', 'Your URL is incorrect');
return FALSE;
  }

else {
return TRUE;
     }
}

And call it in your validation rules :

Code:

$rules['link'] = "callback_valid_urls";

Hope this is useful
