Hello friends!

In the latest version, URLs with umlauts are not being processed correctly:

For example:
https://abcdefg.de/aaaaaaa is fine
https://abcdefg.de/äääääää ERROR

The issue lies within:
comments/system/library/url.php

Code:

if (filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {

returns false for URLs with umlauts

For testing purposes:

Code:

// if (filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
if (true) {                                     // add

works

URLs need to be preprocessed before validation

Hi Michael,

Could you try the following please? This is the solution that I'll likely add in the next version so it would be good to know.

PHP Code:

<?php 

if (filter_var(idn_to_ascii($url), FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
