Validation

[Anon]

Hi I need some help with regexp I need two small things that I can validate 2 urls with

one needs to validate a http:// or ftp:// and ,if possible, make sure it doesn't have a file at the end(ie. zip,exe,rar,ace,etc.) and the other needs to check that it's a valid url http:// ftp:// with a file at the end.... Thanks in advance.

For the first one i am not sure and for the second to check wheather the url is valid or not. u can use this.

$checkingurl = fsockopen($val, 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 30); // here $val is the url which u want to check .

if(!$checkingurl)
{

// Not a valid url
}
else
{
// URl is valid
}
