Add http:// prefix to URL when missing

by

I think you’d better use the built in function parse_url() which returns an associative array with its components

something like this will work for you:

 if  ( $ret = parse_url($url) ) {

      if ( !isset($ret["scheme"]) )
       {
       $url = "http://{$url}";
       }
}
