Where Do I Put : in my preg_match to Qualify URL with :

[vanleurth]

I'm using a preg_match pattern to qualify url before they get saved in a database.

 

As such;

 

$preg_match02 = "/^[a-zA-Z]+[:\/\/]+[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\\.+[A-Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_]+$/i";

 

I was wondering where do I place the : so it can also qualify url pages such as;

This should work

$preg_match02 = "/^[a-zA-Z]+[:\/\/]+[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\\.+[A-Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_\:]+$/i";
