Try this buddy:

PHP Code:

  if (preg_match("/http(s?):\/\/([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(\/[\w- .\/\?%&=]*)?/i", $url_to_parse))

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/154875-how-do-i-parse-url-php.html
{

    //URL is valid, do stuff

}

you can also add this function, to know if the site is existing

PHP Code:

  function if_url_exist($url) {

    $fp = @fopen($url,"r");

    if ($fp) {

        fclose($fp);

       $ret ="Y";

    } else {

        $ret ="N";

    }

    return $ret;

} 

 
//test

$url="http://www.bigvertiser.com";

$test = if_url_exist($url);

echo $test;
