| | I have a input box in a form called "button" and when the user clicks Submit! I want php to determine whether or not this is a url or just text.
All urls have "http://" in them so I have decided I need a script which can determine whether or not "http://" is in a variable or a string. The problem with using strings is that I've never needed to use them before (and thus have no knowledge about them).
When I was using asp, I knew there was a function called instr() but I can't find php's equivalent. Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance! |

Here, use something i came up with for my old website. CODE
$name = $_POST['name'];
$site = $_POST['site'];
if(!$name || !$site)
{
echo "You did not fill out the entire form.";
exit;
}
else if($name && $site && (!ereg("^http://", $site) && (!ereg(".com$", $site) xor !ereg(".org$", $site) xor !ereg(".net$", $site))))
{
echo "You did not enter http:// and one of the following domain extensions: .com, .net, .org; in the url.";
exit;
}
else if($name && $site && (ereg("^http://", $site) && (!ereg(".com$", $site) xor !ereg(".org$", $site) xor !ereg(".net$", $site))))
{
echo "You did not enter one of the following domain extensions: .com, .net, .org; in the url.";
exit;
}
else if($name && $site && (!ereg("^http://", $site) && (ereg(".com$", $site) xor ereg(".org$", $site) xor ereg(".net$", $site))))
{
echo "You did not enter http:// in the url.";
exit;
}
else if($name && $site && (ereg("^http://", $site) && (ereg(".com$", $site) xor ereg(".org$", $site) xor ereg(".net$", $site))))
{
[insert coding here]
