How to add http:// if it doesn’t exist in the URL

by

A modified version of @nickf code:

function addhttp($url) {
    if (!preg_match("~^(?:f|ht)tps?://~i", $url)) {
        $url = "http://" . $url;
    }
    return $url;
}

Recognizes ftp://, ftps://, http:// and https:// in a case insensitive way.
