Property Details

allowEmpty property

public boolean $allowEmpty;

whether the attribute value can be null or empty. Defaults to true, meaning that if the attribute is empty, it is considered valid.

defaultScheme property (available since v1.1.7)

public string $defaultScheme;

the default URI scheme. If the input doesn't contain the scheme part, the default scheme will be prepended to it (thus changing the input). Defaults to null, meaning a URL must contain the scheme part.

pattern property

public string $pattern;

the regular expression used to validate the attribute value. Since version 1.1.7 the pattern may contain a {schemes} token that will be replaced by a regular expression which represents the {@see validSchemes}.

validSchemes property (available since v1.1.7)

public array $validSchemes;

list of URI schemes which should be considered valid. By default, http and https are considered to be valid schemes.

validateIDN property (available since v1.1.13)

public boolean $validateIDN;

whether validation process should care about IDN (internationalized domain names). Default value is false which means that validation of URLs containing IDN will always fail.

Method Details

clientValidateAttribute() method (available since v1.1.7)

public string clientValidateAttribute(CModel $object, string $attribute)
$object CModel the data object being validated
$attribute string the name of the attribute to be validated.
{return} string the client-side validation script.
Source Code: framework/validators/CUrlValidator.php#108 (show)
public function clientValidateAttribute($object,$attribute)
{
    if(
$this->validateIDN)
    {
        
Yii::app()->getClientScript()->registerCoreScript('punycode');
        
// punycode.js works only with the domains - so we have to extract it before punycoding
        
$validateIDN='
var info = value.match(/^(.+:\/\/|)([^/]+)/);
if (info)
value = info[1] + punycode.toASCII(info[2]);
'
;
    }
    else
        
$validateIDN='';

    
$message=$this->message!==null $this->message Yii::t('yii','{attribute} is not a valid URL.');
    
$message=strtr($message, array(
        
'{attribute}'=>$object->getAttributeLabel($attribute),
    ));

    if(
strpos($this->pattern,'{schemes}')!==false)
        
$pattern=str_replace('{schemes}','('.implode('|',$this->validSchemes).')',$this->pattern);
    else
        
$pattern=$this->pattern;

    
$js="
$validateIDN
if(!value.match(
$pattern)) {
messages.push("
.CJSON::encode($message).");
}
"
;
    if(
$this->defaultScheme!==null)
    {
        
$js="
if(!value.match(/:\\/\\//)) {
value="
.CJSON::encode($this->defaultScheme)."+'://'+value;
}
$js
"
;
    }

    if(
$this->allowEmpty)
    {
        
$js="
if(jQuery.trim(value)!='') {
$js
}
"
;
    }

    return 
$js;
}

Returns the JavaScript needed for performing client-side validation.

validateAttribute() method

protected void validateAttribute(CModel $object, string $attribute)
$object CModel the object being validated
$attribute string the attribute being validated
Source Code: framework/validators/CUrlValidator.php#57 (show)
protected function validateAttribute($object,$attribute)
{
    
$value=$object->$attribute;
    if(
$this->allowEmpty && $this->isEmpty($value))
        return;
    if((
$value=$this->validateValue($value))!==false)
        
$object->$attribute=$value;
    else
    {
        
$message=$this->message!==null?$this->message:Yii::t('yii','{attribute} is not a valid URL.');
        
$this->addError($object,$attribute,$message);
    }
}

Validates the attribute of the object. If there is any error, the error message is added to the object.

validateValue() method (available since v1.1.1)

public mixed validateValue(string $value)
$value string the value to be validated
{return} mixed false if the the value is not a valid URL, otherwise the possibly modified value ({@see defaultScheme})
Source Code: framework/validators/CUrlValidator.php#79 (show)
public function validateValue($value)
{
    if(
is_string($value) && strlen($value)<2000)  // make sure the length is limited to avoid DOS attacks
    
{
        if(
$this->defaultScheme!==null && strpos($value,'://')===false)
            
$value=$this->defaultScheme.'://'.$value;

        if(
$this->validateIDN)
            
$value=$this->encodeIDN($value);

        if(
strpos($this->pattern,'{schemes}')!==false)
            
$pattern=str_replace('{schemes}','('.implode('|',$this->validSchemes).')',$this->pattern);
        else
            
$pattern=$this->pattern;

        if(
preg_match($pattern,$value))
            return 
$this->validateIDN $this->decodeIDN($value) : $value;
    }
    return 
false;
}

Validates a static value to see if it is a valid URL. Note that this method does not respect allowEmpty property. This method is provided so that you can call it directly without going through the model validation rule mechanism.
