Validating url hyperlinks has been made easy with PHP and its filter validations. Here is a very easy way to validate website urls using PHP.

<?php
$url = 'http://www.creativearmory.com';

if (filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
    echo "This url is valid";
}
?>

<?php

$url = 'http://www.creativearmory.com';

if (filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {

echo "This url is valid";

}
