Trying to match a url

[ballhogjoni]

so im trying to match the path of a url. example:

/p/alsdjjlse

 

My regex so far:

^\/([a-z])(?:\/(\w+))?$

 

this will match the following:

/p/alsdjjlse

/p

 

but it won't match:

/p/

 

I can't figure this out, any ideas?

 

Thanks

Better off with filter_var than regex:

 

 

$uris = array(
   'www.google.com',
   'http://www.google.com',
   'google.com',
   'rfdgedg'
);
foreach($uris as $uri)
   var_dump(filter_var($uri, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));

boolean false
string 'http://www.google.com' (length=21) 
boolean false 
boolean false

Take it it's homework then?
