Can you tell me how I check user submitted URL has a protocol in PHP? - Tharanga - 02-26-2013 09:51 AM I have a form to get some urls from users. Eg: web address, facebook address, twitter address etc. Then I need to check user may or may not enter the protocol as part of the address. If it is not with url I need to add protocol to it.
