Question

I have that regex to catch any url in php :

((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\\/\\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\\+\\$,\\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+|(?:www.|[-;:&=\\+\\$,\\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-         


        

Answer 1

You need to add a coma character in regex:

Your regex fixed:

((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-_]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@,.\w_]*)#?(?:[\w]*)?))

Good site to validate regex: Rubular

If you want decompose the URL into a parts, you can use the parse_url() PHP function
