Description:
------------
FILTER_VALIDATE_URL does not allow dashes/hyphens in the host name. That's just silly.

Test script:
---------------
$ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.something.com/", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'

$ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.some-thing.com/", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'


Expected result:
----------------
$ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.something.com/", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'
string(25) "http://www.something.com/"

$ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.some-thing.com/", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'
string(26) "http://www.some-thing.com/"


Actual result:
--------------
$ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.something.com/", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'
string(25) "http://www.something.com/"

$ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.some-thing.com/", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'
bool(false)
