Re: OT URL REGEX

Hello Alex,

How flexible does the regular expression have to be?

The regular expression you have in your example will match http or httpsor
ftp protocol servers that have IP addresses or names with extensions of 2 or
more characters.

There are a lot of references out there that can help yor correctly validate
urls.

For your url in question:

http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=xxx&id=xxxx

this is saying that you want the above url where there is a couple of
numbers of 1-4 digits that can change.

"^http\:\/\/www\.awin1\.com\/awclick\.php\?mid=[0-9]{1,4}&id=[0-9]{1,4}"

as in

<?php
$regex =
"^http\:\/\/www\.awin1\.com\/awclick\.php\?mid=[0-9]{1,}&id=[0-9]{1,}";
$url="http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1&id=123";;
if(eregi($regex,$url)){
echo "yes";
} else {
echo "no";
}
?>
