I use parse_url() to validate url's.

But that does not work in my opinion very wel..

<?
$url=parse_url("http://this is no host");
print $url["host"];
?>
print's out :

this is no host

That's not a valid host.

It should be cool if parse_url did some regexp to check.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

as stated in the manual: parse_url() will try to parse even incomplete urls. it is meant for input parsing, not for validation
