[SOLVED] Validating local URLS

[gijew]

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this regular expression. I've been modifying this for about an hour and have only managed to validate the first part (being the http://localhost). I'm not super with regex so I could really use a hand and getting this to validate here..

 

What I'm attempting at doing is validate the following.

http://localhost/ [PASS]

http://localhost/page.html [PASS]

http://localhost/page.php?A=1 [PASS]

http://www.site.com [FAIL]

 

^((ht|f)tp://)((([a-z0-9-]+(\.))|(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}([0-9]{1,3})))((/|\?)[a-zA-Z0-9~#%&'_\+=:\?\.-]*)*)$

 

Yes, I am trying to validate URLS so either a localhost or IP address will pass. There is also the page | directory / extension + any queries.

 

I would really appreciate your kind help here. Thank you!

Got it to work.

 

FYI: For those that are curious about getting this to work.

 

^(ht|f)tp://([0-9][.][0-9][.][0-9][.][0-9]|localhost)(/.*|)$
