Third parameter for FORM::URL validation rule for tld

Grelek

Hello,

I think it could be useful feature. Normally FORM::URL marks URLs without tld as valid. I want to add third parameter (TRUE) that describes if we want “tld mode”, if not, leave third parameter blank.

addRule(FORM::URL, "Non-valid URL!"); // accepts www.bbc
addRule(FORM::URL, "Non-valid URL!", TRUE); // accepts only www.bbc.tld

// and the same with emails

BTW – sorry for my errors in english

How would you identify (distinguish) TLD?

Grelek

I don't understand question. TLD can be distinguished with regular expression. If you mean how would I identify TLD (com, cz, net…), TLD can be pulled up from URL and compared with array of TLDs.

array of TLDs

The problem is, there is no such array of TLDs, because TLDs are expanding, everyone can buy his own gTLD. See ICANN: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/. So it can't be safely matched against some list, because this list is being extended every day.

Ah. So it could be just checking, if any TLD exists, but it looks kind of useless.

Not true, in case of www.bbc is bbc the TLD.

Oops, now I see it. But I meant that FORM::URL can identify TLDs. But now I see the problems, why it isn't implemented.
