Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2022 3:16 pm Post subject: Validate an URL |
|
|
Hi,
Im trying to valide an url before executing a certain code.
Something like {if $url = valid}Linkisvalid{else}Linkisnotvalid{/if}
To give a bit more context: I load in a product url from a database field to make a product feed. But when a product is turned off, aka the link is dead, I want the code to skip that product.
Btw im new to all of this so ill be happy to add more info if it's not clear |

Then don't load that product from database in the first place. |

What would be your essential test?
For example, you say "the link is dead". Do you mean that the database did not give a URL for this product? That is, an empty response?
Then, {if $url}, being true, because an empty value for $url is false-like, should be all you need. |

That IS an option. Write your query to NOT load disabled products, and you won't have this issue in the first place. |
