any body can help me to provide the code for URL validate thru PHP

$uri = 'http://some-domain-name.org';
if( preg_match(
'/^(http|https):\/\/[a-z0-9]+([\-\.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*\.[a-z]{2,5}'
.'((:[0-9]{1,5})?\/.*)?$/i' ,$uri))

I'm not a regex expert (barely a beginner) - but two problems with this one.

A uri does not include http or https. That is the protocol being used.
It could be ftp://, for instance.

And this one will fail with some tlds, such as museum.

loreto, nice work.

aside from the mentioned ".museum" and "ftp" (which can be easily edited
in by using the code below) it looks good.


=== UPDATE regex based off of loreto initial post =====
$uri = 'http://some-domain-name.org';
if( preg_match(
'/^(http|https|ftp):\/\/[a-z0-9]+([\-\.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*\.[a-z]{2,6}'
.'((:[0-9]{1,5})?\/.*)?$/i' ,$uri))
{
echo $uri . 'oh snap! its a valid URL';
}
else
{
echo $uri . 'Wow i hate you....this is not a valid URL';
}

I think you missed Jerry's point. The ftp scheme name was one example.
What are you going to do about other scheme names? For example,
mailto, which doesn't have a '//' authority part. Are you going to
keep track of new scheme names? What about new TLDs?

You can always ping the url. If you get a ping back then it is probably
valid :p

Very simple...

Yes, but not getting a ping back doesn't mean it's not there. May
servers (including mine) are set to ignore ICMP echo requests (pings).

Send a command to GET headers with http_head(). With ftp, I guess
something with ftp_nlist(). In either case, parse the result appro-
priately.
