i'm wanting a simple way to check whether a URL has the http:// on it
and if not then i'll add it
( lemony, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 22:17, archived)

look into these two fucntions on php.net
strpos and strstr I will have a look also seeing as I have nothing better to do

i was going to use parse_url
but i've not used it before and have no idea how it works
( lemony, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 22:21, archived)

i think you included a < or > sign in that

( lemony, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 22:24, archived)

something yes
linked to where I found it
( freakimus, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 22:26, archived)

never heard
of parse_url though

will check it out
( freakimus, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 22:28, archived)

if(strcmp(substr($url, 0, 7), 'http://') == 0)

then it has http:// on the front.

(zero from strcmp means the same)

not sure if the slashes in that string will cause problems, but it's in single quotes so presumably not.
