            Description

            The error "Please correct the following errors in the form fields below: Enter a valid web location beginning with 'http://' or 'https://'. EXAMPLE: http://www.mysite.org/" is displayed if you try to enter a URL for the website of a contact or organization that includes a hyphen, such as in http://www.atoz-sado.com

            If I remove the hyphen, the contact or organization is saved without a problem.

                This is a PHP bug in older versions of PHP. Please upgrade your PHP to a more recent version

                Thanks, I upgraded my Ubuntu server from 10.04 to 10.10 and PHP from 5.3.2 to 5.3.3 and now it works.

                I've replicated this problem on 4.2.6 with a Website field in a profile, though I've found it to be intermittent - at least, I haven't pinned down the precise circumstances when it occurs.
                Any particular reason why this was marked as Won't Fix?

                Replicated on 4.2.6, using a profile with a Website field in edit mode.

                Sorry for the multiple comments - no comments were appearing when I viewed the issue, so I didn't see the remarks re PHP versions. I believe that's the problem in this case (client's own server). I'm apparently not competent to operate a web GUI at this precise moment so will stop and go home!
