Just today (and I did not edit any code whatsoever) if I type a link that starts with http:/ as a question or as an answer I get Page Cannot Be Displayed error.

What might be the cause?

If it type:

gttp://

htttp://

httt://

All are accepted except http:/ . Any ideas?

Were going to need allot more information and maybe some relevant code.

I have removed your link because we don't need it, and it smells of spam.

May 7, 2010

Hi thank you for your reply.

No it is not SPAM. What information should i provide?

Another funny thing is that if i type http:// in a textfield it will let me post but not if I type http:// in a textarea.

Relevant code.

Here is the code for the Post Question Page. It will not work if I post an http:/ in Additional Details Text Area:

Seriously, have a read of the 'How To" link in my signature and try again. You need to properly describe your problem, tell us what you have tried to rectify the problem and then post relevant and only relevant code.

May 7, 2010

I am not an expert at all in PHP :-[ What is bothering me is that I have changed nothing all and today walla it is not working.

The Problem: All text is accepted in the form however if i type a link or anything that contains http:/ the page gives me a Page Cannot Be Displayed when I press Ask This Question.

I have tried everything I could think of such as remove parts of the code to see where it gets stuck but no success!

May 7, 2010

Please help. I am really frustrated and I do not know what might be the cause.

May 7, 2010

This part of the code:

Does not accept any text begining with ftp:// or http://. All other text gets accepted. It is like the code is filtering these protocols.
