How to add http:// if it doesn't exist in the URL PHP?
Here, we have set a function that adds "http:// to a string. Let’s say we have passed the following value −
example.com
And the output we want is with "http://" i.e. an actual link −
http://example.com
For this, you can use dot(.) notation and conditional match with preg_match().
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <body> <?php function addingTheHTTPValue($stringValue) { if (!preg_match("~^(?:f|ht)tps?://~i", $stringValue)) { $stringValue = "http://" . $stringValue; } return $stringValue; } echo addingTheHTTPValue("example.com"); echo "<br>"; echo addingTheHTTPValue("https://example.com"); ?> </body> </html> Output
http://example.com https://example.com
