expressions

[zumone]

im coding a guestbook, and i have a little problem with expressions. users can insert their homepage. how would the code be if i want to check if $row['url'] starts with http:// ?
if $row['url'] starts with http://, i want to echo "$row['url']", but if it dont start with http://, i want to echo "http://$row['url']"

(strstr($row['url'],"http://")) ? print $row['url'] : print "http://" . $row['url'];

Hi!

I think your code will look something like :

if(stripos($row[url],"http://") === false)
     print "http://" . $row[url];
else
     print $row[url];

Please notice that you CAN'T use the == operator because stripos() could (should !) return '0' as the position of the first occurrence of "http://", so it would be == to false, but not === to false. Hope it's clear enough. 😉
