Add http:// prefix to URL when missing

Question

Hello I have a very simple code

    
Website
         


        

Answer 1

You could use strpos:

// Trim trailing whitespace
$aProfileInfo['Website'] = trim($aProfileInfo['Website']);

// Test if the string begins with "http://"
if (strpos($aProfileInfo['Website'], 'http://') !== 0) {
  $aProfileInfo['Website'] = 'http://' . $aProfileInfo['Website'];
}
