Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.filter-var
---

filter_var url validation does not support hebrew urls
For example, this is a valid url: www.example.com/בדיקה
But the filter_var function returns false.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$url = "http://www.example.com/אבג";
 
if(!filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
  {
  echo "Invalid URL";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Valid URL";
  }
?> 

will output "Invalid url", but it is a valid url..

That is documented behavior[1]. In short: FILTER_VALIDATE_URL
validates according to RFC 2396, which does not cater to IDNs.

I'm changing to feature request.
