Description:
------------
Hello,

If I use the following script, the filter_var return always false, but the Domain is possible.

It is possible to fix it, that Domains with ÜÖÄ are exepted?

Thanks you in advance!

Test script:
---------------
<?php
if(filter_var('example@öko.de', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
	echo 'ok';
}
else
{
	echo 'fail';
}
?>

Unfortunately, the manual[1] is not explicit about that issue, 
but I assume that FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL validates according to
RFC 5322, which does not cater for IDNs.  If so, this might be
regarded as "documentation problem".

This bug report is related to request #65385[2].

You have to use http://php.net/manual/en/function.idn-to-ascii.php

Actually the problem persist with other filters as well. For example, this URL:

https://www.kfw.de/KfW-Konzern/Karriere/Jobs-Bewerbung/Jobbörse/Vertrieb/

filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) would return false, but it's a valid URL.

So this indeed is a bug.

According to RFC 3986[1] your example is not a valid URI, because
the path component must not contain an Umlaut; the ö would have to
be percent encoded as %C3%B6 (what is done transparently by modern
browsers). Passing the proper URL to filter_var($url,
FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) has the expected result.

Exactly, use the IDN functions or url_encode.
