I dont think im the best qualified for giving this solution but i have created this pattern and although it is not perfect as it is It may give you a starting point for what you are trying to achieve.

Validate URL:

/^(http|https|ftp):\/\/([\w]*)\.([\w]*)\.(com|net|org|biz|info|mobi|us|cc|bz|tv|ws|name |co|me)(\.[a-z]{1,3})?$/i

Example:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 
$szString = "http://www.talkPHP.com";
if (preg_match('/^(http|https|ftp):\/\/([\w]*)\.([\w]*)\.(com|net|org|biz|info|mobi|us|cc|bz|tv|ws|name|co|me)(\.[a-z]{1,3})?$/i', $szString))
    echo "This is a valid URL";
?>
