I have a form in which users submit a url. I am having problems as some people submit the url in the format http://www.blah.blah.org <http://www.blah.blah.org/> while others submit in the format www.blah.blah.org <http://www.blah.blah.org/> I have designed the form so that it seems fairly obvious (to me anyway) not to include the http:// but people are still doing it (presumably because they are copying and pasting from a browser). My form processing script is designed to add http:// to the submitted url and place the modified url in a database for future use. As you can imagine sometimes I end up with urls such as http://http://www.blah.blah.org <http://http:/www.blah.blah.org> in my database. Hence I need a more rigorous form processing script that is capable of first checking if the url includes http:// and then processes accordingly. Can anyone point me in the right direction for such a script?
