ok, first you need to search for a pattern in the string, if it matchs a pattern then it does something, of it dosent then its not a valid link.....



$imdb_link ="/imdb/";
$moviemeter_link ="/moviemeter/";

if(preg_match($imdb_link, $the_link_your_searching) {
// do something
} elseif (preg_match($moviemeter_link, $the_link_your_searching) {
// do something different
} else {
// the link was not found
}
