Error on passing Url through form

[heeha]

I was using a api from google but whenever i pass it though a form via post, it gets me error.

Invalid value ''.https://google.com.'/'. Values must match the following regular expression: '(?i)http(s)?://.*' [locationType] => parameter [location] => url ) ) [code] => 400 [message] => Invalid value ''.https://google.com.'/'. Values must match the following regular expression: '(?i)http(s)?://.*' ) )

 

<?php 
if(isset($_POST['url'])){
    $url = $_POST['url'];

( I hid code rest code because of api But i get above error. ) 


	$val = json_decode($result, true);

	//return $val;
    
    print_r($val);
 
}
?>

<form action="" method="post">
Url <input type="url" name="url">
</form> 

 

What should be added to pass url variable correctly? I tried using w3school method but i still get the same error.

extracted non-code from code block

W3school is the last resource you should try. In any case the code you omitted is the code we need to see, particularly the headers you are setting to send. Yo don't send post data in the UR per se. Are you using curl or pecl?

Not sure on the format of the url value you supply, but how do you intend to 'pass' this value using the form you displayed?  There is no submit entry.
