The Website/URL field rejects valid internationalized domain names (IDNs) whose hostname contains
accented characters. Reported by an Elite customer in Help Scout ticket 257002 for a .ch domain
spelled with an umlaut. .ch explicitly permits accented vowels, so the domain is legitimately
registrable.
The cause is a single host-matching regex, duplicated in PHP and JS. Its host character class [\da-z\.-] is ASCII-only:
classes/models/fields/FrmFieldUrl.php in FrmFieldUrl::validate()
js/formidable.js in checkUrlField()
js/formidable.min.js (the literal survives verbatim, since npm run minimize compiles at WHITESPACE level)
Formidable Pro has zero copies of this pattern.
Why this is safe rather than a loosening
Three things make this a consistency fix rather than a new capability:
The punycode spelling of the same domain already passes.xn---encoded hosts have always
validated, and they resolve to the identical host. Accepting the Unicode spelling adds nothing
a submitter could not already do.
Non-ASCII in the path, query and fragment already passes. The regex only constrains the
host, so the field already stored accented characters happily. Only the hostname was rejected.
esc_url_raw() already preserves the bytes. WordPress's URL sanitizer explicitly allows the
high byte range, so sanitizing was never the thing rejecting these values.
Sanitizing, escaping, storage and the scheme allowlist are all untouched. Chrome's native type="url" constraint already accepts every IDN form here, so the browser was not the blocker
either.
Verification
Exhaustive ASCII equivalence. The old and new patterns were compared across 1408 ASCII
byte/position combinations and are byte-for-byte identical. No previously accepted or rejected
ASCII url changes behaviour. This was brute-forced, not sampled.
Injection set unchanged.javascript:, data:, vbscript:, <script> and CRLF-header
inputs all still fail exactly as before. The only behavioural delta across the whole matrix is
the IDN cases.
Pattern read back from the edited file (rather than a copy) accepts 10 IDN forms, including
Cyrillic and CJK, and rejects 8 malformed hosts.
The trap worth knowing about in review
The two regexes deliberately do not use the same character range:
PHP matches UTF-8 bytes (no /u modifier), so the raw byte range covers all non-ASCII.
JS matches UTF-16 code units, so it needs \u0080-\uFFFF. The PHP byte range would cover an
umlaut but not Cyrillic or CJK.
Copying one literal into both would accept those hosts server side while silently rejecting them in
the browser, which is the same class of split this ticket is about. test_url_field_js_regex_parity()
asserts the two JS files carry the code unit form and never the PHP one.
/u is also deliberately absent from the PHP pattern: preg_match() returns false on invalid
UTF-8, and because the result is negated that would report valid Latin-1 input as invalid. test_url_non_utf8_host_byte() guards this, with a precondition so it cannot pass vacuously.
One more subtlety, confirmed empirically: appending the range after the trailing hyphen
([\da-z\.-\x80-\xff]) is not a syntax error. PCRE reads it as the range 0x2E-0x80, which
silently admits / ? : @ < > [ inside the hostname. The negative rows https://a/b.com and https://a?b.com exist to fail if anyone ever reorders the class that way.
Tests
test_url_idn_validation() - 11 must-pass values (accented Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, uppercase
non-ASCII, punycode, ASCII baseline, localhost, non-ASCII in path/query/fragment, and the
no-scheme form) and 4 must-fail values.
test_url_non_utf8_host_byte() - the /u guard.
test_url_field_js_regex_parity() - asserts the rule rather than pinning the literal, and checks
the minified artifact carries the same host class as its source. Mutation-proven: green on the
real files, red when formidable.min.js is reverted alone, red when the PHP range is copied into
the JS source.
3 rows appended to the shared expected_format_errors() table.
One Cypress it() with "Validate this form with javascript" enabled, so it exercises the
committed minified artifact through a real browser rather than passing via the server-side path.
php -l and node --check are clean. phpcs, phpstan, phpunit and eslint need composer install
plus a WordPress test database, which is not set up on this machine, so they run here in CI under
the labels below. Reviewer note: core CI is label-gated, so this PR carries run tests, run analysis and run e2e tests. Without them only typos and psalm would run.
Manual QA note
The front end serves the combined js/frm.min.js, which is rebuilt from js/formidable.min.js
only by FrmAppHelper::save_combined_js() (called from FrmMigrate and FrmAddon). When testing
this by hand, delete js/frm.min.js or set SCRIPT_DEBUG, otherwise a stale combined file will
serve the old regex and the fix will look like it did nothing.
Deliberately not fixed here
These are pre-existing and adjacent, left out to keep the change narrow. Each is a separate
behaviour decision, and they are grouped into a follow-up issue rather than lost:
Underscore in the host is rejected.
IPv6 literals are rejected.
ftp:, mailto:, news:, feed: and telnet: are rejected by the format check even though the
scheme allowlist a few lines above explicitly admits them - a real internal contradiction.
Garbage such as https://-.- and https://.... passes, so this check was never a strong quality
gate in the first place.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
URL fields now accept valid internationalized domain names, including accented or other non-ASCII characters.
Existing HTTP, HTTPS, and localhost validation rules remain supported.
Validation continues to reject malformed domains, dotless hostnames, invalid paths, and unsupported URL formats.
Browser and server-side validation now handle internationalized URLs consistently.
Tests
Added coverage for internationalized domains, malformed URL inputs, non-UTF-8 host data, and validation consistency.
The host pattern in FrmFieldUrl::validate() and its twin in checkUrlField()
allowed ASCII only, so valid internationalized domains were rejected. The
punycode spelling of the same domain already passed, and non-ASCII in the
path, query and fragment already passed, so this removes an inconsistency
rather than granting anything new.
The two character ranges differ by design. PHP matches UTF-8 bytes, so it
uses the raw byte range; JS matches UTF-16 code units, so it needs the code
unit range. Copying one literal into both would accept Cyrillic and CJK hosts
server side while silently rejecting them in the browser, so a test asserts
the two JS files carry the code unit form and never the PHP one.
The /u modifier is deliberately not added to the PHP pattern: preg_match()
returns false on invalid UTF-8, and because the result is negated that would
report valid Latin-1 input as invalid.
Sanitizing, escaping, storage and the scheme allowlist are untouched. The new
pattern was compared byte for byte with the old one across 1408 ASCII inputs
with no difference, so no ASCII url changes behaviour.

This PR expands URL host validation to accept valid internationalized domain names while leaving sanitization, storage, and scheme handling unchanged. It is generally mergeable, but explicit owner follow-up is warranted for bounded test reliability gaps involving raw-byte coverage, Unicode-regex parity, and ArrayAccess assertions.

PHPCS: two assertion messages in test_FrmFieldValidate.php exceeded the
180 character limit (SlevomatCodingStandard.Files.LineLength). Shortened
them; the detail they carried is already in the method docblocks.
DeepSource JS-0117 wanted the u flag on the JS host pattern, which uses
unicode escapes. Adding it required widening the class to a code point
range, since under the u flag the old code unit range would no longer
match astral characters that the PHP side accepts as bytes. Verified in
node: the u variant is identical to the previous one on all 15 sample
urls and across 640 generated ASCII cases, and an astral host still
matches, so PHP and JS stay in step.
DeepSource JS-R1004: four backtick strings in the new Cypress block had
no interpolation. Converted to plain strings.
The parity test needle and the explanatory comment were updated to match
the new JS form. The PHP pattern deliberately still has no u modifier,
because preg_match() returns false on malformed UTF-8 and the negated
result would report valid Latin-1 input as invalid.

CI status: 18 green, 2 red, and neither red one comes from this PR
Green, including the parts that matter here: PHPUnit on PHP 7.4/WP 6.9 and PHP 8/WP 6.9, PHPCS,
PHPStan, Psalm, Mago, ESLint, Oxlint, PHP CS Fixer, Rector, Stylelint, Spell Check, DeepSource:
JavaScript, DeepScan, Scrutinizer, CodeRabbit.
The new Cypress case passed:
✓ should accept an internationalized domain name in a Website/URL field (8398ms)
Spec Ran: Forms/fieldsInFormBuilder.cy.js (green)
That is the end-to-end proof that the committed js/formidable.min.js was actually rebuilt, since
wp-env activation regenerates js/frm.min.js from it.
Red 1 — Cypress admin-html-validation.cy.js:no-dup-id, Duplicate ID "frm_connect_with_oauth" at #frm_strp_settings_container > div:nth-child(2) > a, on the global
settings page.
That ID lives in stripe/views/settings/connect.php:30 and stripe/js/connect_settings.js:5, both
untouched here — this PR changes five files, none of them under stripe/.
Worth flagging separately: Cypress has never actually run on master. Every historical run shows skipped, because the gate added in #3254 reads github.event.pull_request.labels, which is null on push events, and the run e2e tests label
did not exist in this repo at all until I created it to label this PR. So there is no green baseline
to compare against, and this appears to be the first Cypress execution on any PR since the gate
landed. The duplicate ID looks like a genuine pre-existing HTML-validity and accessibility bug in
the Stripe Connect settings view (the anchor is rendered in two sibling containers) rather than
anything to do with URL fields. Happy to open a separate issue for it if useful — flagging rather
than silently folding it into this PR.
Red 2 — DeepSource: PHP. All of the reported findings are pre-existing lines that DeepSource
cannot resolve, not defects introduced here. Checked individually against origin/master:
Call to an undefined method assertEmpty()/assertNotEmpty()/assertArrayHasKey() at lines 58, 76,
78, 183, 198 — every one of those lines is unchanged master code. DeepSource is not resolving
PHPUnit's TestCase base class.
Access to an undefined property $factory at lines 16, 20, 145, 155, 170 — also unchanged master
code; $factory comes from the WP test-case base class.
Cannot access property $required on array|int|object at FrmFieldUrl.php:89 — this is the
pre-existing } elseif ( $this->field->required == '1' ... line, byte-identical to master's line
88. It only moved down one line because the fix adds a comment above it.
DeepSource: JavaScript went green after this PR's second commit, which addressed the two findings
that genuinely were mine (JS-0117 wanted the u flag; JS-R1004 flagged four backtick strings
with no interpolation).
Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.
Housekeeping so the review queue reflects reality.
Resolved 5 DeepSource threads — all raised against the first commit (cf3f6c8) and all genuinely
fixed in df88b2d. GitHub already marked each of them outdated, and DeepSource: JavaScript is
now success on the head commit. For the record, rather than just taking the check's word for it:
Thread
Finding
Current state
js/formidable.js:546
JS-0117, use the u flag
Pattern is now …/iu with a code point range
fieldsInFormBuilder.cy.js:258
JS-R1004, needless template string
now 'li[id="text"] a[title="Text"]'
fieldsInFormBuilder.cy.js:259
JS-R1004
now 'li[id="url"] a[title="Website/URL"]'
fieldsInFormBuilder.cy.js:280
JS-R1004
now '[id^="frm_error_field_"]'
fieldsInFormBuilder.cy.js:290
JS-R1004
now '[id^="frm_error_field_"]'
Worth noting on JS-0117 specifically: adding u was not purely cosmetic. Under the u flag the
previous code unit range would have stopped matching astral-plane characters that the PHP side
accepts as bytes, which would have introduced a fresh server-accepts / client-rejects split — the
exact bug class this PR fixes. So the range was widened to a code point range at the same time,
and verified in node as identical to the previous behaviour across 640 generated ASCII cases with
astral hosts still matching.
Left the 16 DeepSource PHP threads open deliberately. They are false positives, but they are not
mine to dismiss and a reviewer should see them. The decisive evidence is that PHP 7.4 tests in WP 6.9 and PHP 8 tests in WP 6.9 both pass: a suite cannot pass while calling undefined methods,
so Call to an undefined method assertNotEmpty() cannot be true. DeepSource is not resolving
PHPUnit's TestCase, which is also why it reports the same error on line 198 — untouched master
code. Similarly FrmFieldUrl.php:89 is master's line 88 verbatim, moved down one line by the added
comment.
If the team wants those silenced repo-wide, excluding tests/** from the PHP analyzer in .deepsource.toml would do it, but that is a policy call rather than something to fold into this PR.
Filed Strategy11/formidable-pro#6568 for the pre-existing duplicate-ID failure in the Stripe Connect settings view that
this PR's Cypress run surfaced. It includes the root cause (the view is rendered once per mode with
hardcoded IDs) and a note that current behaviour is not broken, since the click handlers use
jQuery delegated events and derive mode from the [data-test-mode] ancestor.
Babysit pass — nothing pushed, and no re-litigating the two triage comments above. One addition
only, because it answers the question a reviewer actually has to decide: can this merge with DeepSource: PHP red?
The repo has already answered that twice, this month. Both of these merged on 2026-08-13 with DeepSource: PHP failing and inline DeepSource threads open on the phpunit files they added:
#3235 — Make field create handle invalid input better
fail
9, on tests/phpunit/fields/test_FrmField.php
Same finding class in both — Call to an undefined method assertX() and Access to an undefined property $factory. So this is not a new judgement call about this PR; it is
what happens to every core PR that adds a phpunit test.
I also found the mechanical cause, which makes it unfixable from inside this diff rather than merely
a false positive. .deepsource.toml excludes **/vendor/**, so PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase is
invisible to the PHP analyzer. stubs.php does declare WP_UnitTestCase extends WP_UnitTestCase_Base extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase, and phpstan.neon
and psalm.xml both load that file explicitly — which is exactly why PHPStan and Psalm are green
here while DeepSource is not. DeepSource has no equivalent stub setting, so every assert*() call in
all 78 phpunit test files is unresolvable to it. Nothing this PR can change; the fix is either a
stub path or a tests/** exclusion in .deepsource.toml, and that is a repo policy call.
Cypress is unchanged from the triage above: the sole failure is the pre-existing duplicate frm_connect_with_oauth ID, now tracked as Strategy11/formidable-pro#6568. I re-read the log on the current head to confirm
it is byte-for-byte the same failure #3242 hits on an unrelated diff, which is the cleanest proof
available that it is master-side and not either PR's doing.
Still waiting on a human review — the only reviews on record are deepsource-io[bot] and coderabbitai[bot], so this is not merging itself.

Approve — the host-regex widening is sound and doesn't loosen anything reachable.
Verified the PHP ([\da-z\x80-\xff.-], no /u) and JS ([\da-z-\u{10FFFF}.-], /iu) host classes directly: the byte/codepoint range sits before the trailing literal hyphen in both (no 0x2E-0x80 reordering trap), and the punycode spelling of every IDN case here already validated before this PR — so no new host becomes reachable, only a new accepted spelling of one already accepted. esc_url_raw() already allow-lists \x80-\xff (confirmed against WP core's own esc_url() character class), so sanitization was never the blocker either. FrmFieldUrl's validated value isn't consumed by any remote-fetch/SSRF-relevant path in this repo — display/storage only in Lite.
Both red CI checks are unrelated to this diff, not silently excused: DeepSource: PHP's "critical" findings on test_FrmFieldValidate.php are its static analyzer failing to resolve PHPUnit's inherited assert*() methods and $factory property through the FrmUnitTest base class — a false-positive pattern that would hit any new test file in this hierarchy, not something this diff caused (the real PHPUnit runs, PHP 7.4 and 8, are green). Cypress failed on admin-html-validation.cy.js's pre-existing duplicate frm_connect_with_oauth id in stripe/views/settings/connect.php — nothing this PR touches. The PR's own new spec (fieldsInFormBuilder.cy.js) passed 5/5.
Non-blocking nit: test_url_field_js_regex_parity() (tests/phpunit/fields/test_FrmFieldValidate.php) carries @covers FrmFieldUrl::validate, but the test only string-matches file contents and never calls validate() — the annotation's inaccurate. Worth dropping in a follow-up, not blocking here.
For awareness, not a request: this doesn't change what resolves, but it does remove punycode's xn-- prefix as a de facto visual "this domain looks unusual" tell when an admin reviews entries. That's a pre-existing IDN-homograph risk class (every browser renders IDN this way already), not something this diff introduces — flagging for context, nothing to fix here.
Franky's non-blocking note on #3256: test_url_field_js_regex_parity() carried
@Covers FrmFieldUrl::validate but never calls validate() -- it reads
js/formidable.js and js/formidable.min.js and asserts on their contents. The
annotation credited the method with coverage the test does not provide.
Removed rather than replaced with @coversNothing, since this suite uses no
@coversNothing anywhere and sets no forceCoversAnnotation/requireCoverageMetadata,
so an absent @Covers is the existing convention for a test that isn't a unit test
of one method. Left a note in the docblock saying it deliberately carries none,
and pointing at test_url_value() as the test that does exercise validate() --
confirmed that test exists and carries that annotation rather than assuming it.
Fixed here instead of in a follow-up because the PR is still open and it is a
one-line docblock change.
Verified: php -l clean.

Thanks — pushed 9b6bfa4df for the @covers nit, and I chased the red checks further than the review did, because one of the DeepSource findings isn't accounted for by the "PHPUnit inherited assertions" explanation.
The @covers nit — fixed here rather than in a follow-up, since the PR is still open and it's a docblock change. Removed rather than swapped for @coversNothing: this suite uses @coversNothing nowhere and sets neither forceCoversAnnotation nor requireCoverageMetadata, so an absent @covers is the existing convention for a test that isn't a unit test of one method. Left a note saying it deliberately carries none and pointing at test_url_value() as the test that does exercise validate() — verified that test exists and carries that annotation rather than assuming it.

That last one is Cannot access property $required on array|int|object at what is now line 89 — $this->field->required == '1'. I left it alone deliberately, and here's why rather than just asserting it:
It is not a line this PR changes. The diff hunk is @@ -85,2 +85,3 @@ — the comment and the preg_match. Line 89 sits outside the hunk and moved down one line because the new two-line comment pushed it. DeepSource analyses the whole changed file, so it surfaced pre-existing code.
The complaint is legitimate, not a false positive.FrmFieldType::$field is declared @var array|int|object (since 3.0), so any ->property access on it is genuinely unsound to a static analyser.
It's systemic, not local. There are 15 $this->field->… accesses across classes/models/fields/*.php. Narrowing that type, or the accesses, is a core-wide change and has no business riding along in an IDN validation PR.
So DeepSource: PHP will stay red on this branch even after #3269 excludes tests/phpunit, for that one pre-existing finding. Filing the systemic $field typing gap separately rather than leaving it as a comment here — it will keep re-firing on every PR that touches a field class, so it's worth its own record.
Cypress is the pre-existing duplicate frm_connect_with_oauth id in stripe/views/settings/connect.php, tripping admin-html-validation.cy.js — nothing this branch touches, as your review noted. This PR's own spec passed 5/5.
Still needs a human review — the only approval on it is Franky's.
Re-requesting a Franky pass: the last approving review landed at 20:04 UTC and the current head was pushed at 20:36, so that approval does not cover what is now on the branch — and the franky-review label had come off, so nothing was going to look at it. Re-added.
Nothing pushed here. Cypress and DeepSource: PHP are both red on this head; those are for a human to read rather than for me to touch on a core repo.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Re-reviewing at the current head (9b6bfa4d) since my prior approval covered df88b2d3 — the branch moved after that.
The only change since the approved commit is the @covers docblock fix (9b6bfa4d), confirmed by diff: test_url_field_js_regex_parity() now correctly carries no @covers (it reads the JS source files, never calls FrmFieldUrl::validate()), and test_url_value() is confirmed to be the test that actually carries @covers FrmFieldUrl::validate. No functional change.
Re-verified the core fix independently rather than taking the write-up on faith: the PHP regex adds \x80-\xff (raw UTF-8 high bytes, no /u modifier — correct, since /u would fail-closed on preg_match() for malformed UTF-8) and the JS regex adds the same range up through \u{10FFFF} with the /u flag (matching by code point rather than code unit, since JS strings are UTF-16). Both intentionally asymmetric for the right reason, and the parity test pins that they still agree.
Remaining red checks are pre-existing and unrelated, confirmed independently:
Cypress (admin-html-validation.cy.js, duplicate frm_connect_with_oauth ID) — stripe/views/settings/connect.php, untouched by this diff. formidable-pro#6568 exists and is open, tracking it.
DeepSource: PHP — 15 of 16 findings are unresolved inherited PHPUnit assertions in the new test file (analyzer can't see vendor/, not this PR's doing); the 16th (FrmFieldUrl.php:89, $this->field->required) is byte-identical to master's line 88, just shifted by an added comment — a real but pre-existing/systemic FrmFieldType::$field typing gap across 15 call sites repo-wide, correctly left out of scope for an IDN validation fix.
Nothing further to add. Approving at the current head.

Method create_object() has no body
An empty function or method is considered as dead code, and removing it from the codebase wouldn't make any difference to the application's logic. This might even confuse the developer in the future, questioning the existence and use of the code block.
If the code block is not necessary, it is highly recommended it remove it. This would also improve the code readability.

Request changes — three CI checks are red on the current head (a6cbfe739), and all three trace to this round's own DeepSource-chasing commits (460811d46..a6cbfe739), not to anything pre-existing. Re-reviewing only the delta since my last approval at 9b6bfa4d (the regex fix itself is unchanged and still sound, per the two prior approvals).
PHPCS: real line-length violation, inline comment below — the new skipcq comment is too long. Quick fix.
PHPStan: 6 new errors, all in stubs.php, inline comment below.
Mago: WP_UnitTest_Generator_Sequence / rand_str "not found" — new regression from this round, not pre-existing (confirmed: Mago passed clean on 9b6bfa4d, before stubs.php's stub rewrite landed). Root cause: stubs.php's new @var FrmUnitTestFactory docblock on WP_UnitTestCase_Base::$factory makes Mago's analyzer newly follow that type into tests/phpunit/base/frm_factory.php's real FrmUnitTestFactory class — which calls WP_UnitTest_Generator_Sequence/rand_str, neither of which is stubbed anywhere in stubs.php (only the WP_UnitTest_Factory_For_* hierarchy got stubbed, not these two WP-core-test-suite helpers). Before this docblock existed, $factory was untyped and Mago never analyzed into that file's body through this property, so the gap was unreached rather than fixed. Needs either a WP_UnitTest_Generator_Sequence stub class + rand_str() stub function added to stubs.php, or narrowing the new @var so Mago doesn't chase into frm_factory.php.
Nothing else changed in this round beyond the CI-chasing commits — no new concerns on the core regex fix itself.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
PHPStan is red with 6 errors introduced by this file's new stub bodies (confirmed against the actual CI log for this head, all in stubs.php):
L552WP_UnitTestCase_Base::$factory — @var FrmUnitTestFactory references a class PHPStan can't resolve from here (class.notFound). This is also the root cause of the new Mago failure — see review body.
L563 (stub_check()) — (string) $message on a parameter already typed string is a useless cast (cast.useless).
L567, L571assertArrayHasKey() / assertArrayNotHasKey() — $array needs its ArrayAccess<TKey, TValue> generics specified (missingType.generics), inherited from the real PHPUnit\Framework\Assert signature this overrides.
L576, L580assertContains() / assertNotContains() — in_array()'s third ($strict) argument must be the literal true for this ruleset (function.strict); passing false explicitly still trips it.
None of these were present before this file's stub-body rewrite (9b6bfa4d had PHPStan green).
Assert that sanitization preserves the Latin-1 byte.
assertNotEmpty( esc_url_raw( $url ) ) does not prove that \xE4 survived sanitization. If esc_url_raw() removes the byte and returns a non-empty ASCII URL, this test still passes.
Store the sanitized value and assert that it contains "\xE4" before validating the URL.
Proposed test fix
- $this->assertNotEmpty( esc_url_raw( $url ), 'The Latin-1 host byte did not survive sanitizing, so this test proves nothing.' );+ $sanitized_url = esc_url_raw( $url );+ $this->assertStringContainsString( "\xE4", $sanitized_url, 'The Latin-1 host byte did not survive sanitizing.' );

create_many() returns the same object ID repeated.array_fill( 0, $count, $this->create( ... ) ) evaluates create() one time.

The PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase contract accepts array|ArrayAccess, but these overrides check arrays only. For an ArrayAccess object with an existing key, assertArrayHasKey() fails and assertArrayNotHasKey() passes. Use offsetExists() for ArrayAccess values and add regression coverage.

Approve — CI is fully green now, including Cypress (run 32878407135 / job 97901825324 completed success, head unchanged at 21291451).
Re-derived the true PR-scope diff rather than diffing against my last-reviewed commit.a6cbfe739..HEAD spans the intervening master merge and pulls in unrelated repo-wide changes from #3271-3273, which would have misattributed fixes to this branch. Using git diff origin/master...HEAD instead, correctly attributing the three findings from my last "Request changes":
PHPStan (6 errors in stubs.php): fixed by this branch's own commit 21291451 — @phpstan-ignore class.notFound on $factory plus the retyped @var FrmUnitTestFactory docblock, and @param mixed added to the assertion methods that were tripping the ArrayAccess contravariance rule.
Mago (WP_UnitTest_Generator_Sequence/rand_str "not found"): resolved by master's own #3271 merge, which added both stubs — not a commit on this branch. Noting for accuracy since I originally asked this PR to add them; the net result is the same either way.
PHPCS (line-length): the skipcq comment is now correctly tab-indented under the elseif (this branch, 89415499), and master's #3271 separately added ignoreComments="true" to the SlevomatCodingStandard.Files.LineLength rule. Either alone likely would have been enough; both landed.
Core regex fix is unchanged from my two prior approvals (df88b2d3, 9b6bfa4d) — still sound, nothing new to re-litigate there.
Non-blocking, from CodeRabbit's latest pass:stubs.php's assertArrayHasKey/assertArrayNotHasKey don't handle ArrayAccess, only arrays. Confirmed stubs.php is analyzer-only — referenced only by phpstan.neon/psalm.xml/mago.toml, not phpunit.xml or any test bootstrap — so this has no effect on real test runs. Worth a follow-up, not blocking here.
Open question, unaddressed — flagging rather than deciding for the team:@truongwp asked above whether this should be gated behind a field-settings checkbox instead of applying directly. The PR's own "why this is safe" reasoning argues against needing a toggle — every affected domain's punycode spelling already validated before this PR, so accepting the Unicode spelling doesn't make a new host reachable, there's no new capability to gate. That's a product call for the team though, not something I'm deciding here.

What
The Website/URL field rejects valid internationalized domain names (IDNs) whose hostname contains
accented characters. Reported by an Elite customer in Help Scout ticket 257002 for a
.chdomainspelled with an umlaut.
.chexplicitly permits accented vowels, so the domain is legitimatelyregistrable.
The cause is a single host-matching regex, duplicated in PHP and JS. Its host character class
[\da-z\.-]is ASCII-only:classes/models/fields/FrmFieldUrl.phpinFrmFieldUrl::validate()js/formidable.jsincheckUrlField()js/formidable.min.js(the literal survives verbatim, sincenpm run minimizecompiles atWHITESPACElevel)Formidable Pro has zero copies of this pattern.
Why this is safe rather than a loosening
Three things make this a consistency fix rather than a new capability:
xn---encoded hosts have alwaysvalidated, and they resolve to the identical host. Accepting the Unicode spelling adds nothing
a submitter could not already do.
host, so the field already stored accented characters happily. Only the hostname was rejected.
esc_url_raw()already preserves the bytes. WordPress's URL sanitizer explicitly allows thehigh byte range, so sanitizing was never the thing rejecting these values.
Sanitizing, escaping, storage and the scheme allowlist are all untouched. Chrome's native
type="url"constraint already accepts every IDN form here, so the browser was not the blockereither.
Verification
byte/position combinations and are byte-for-byte identical. No previously accepted or rejected
ASCII url changes behaviour. This was brute-forced, not sampled.
javascript:,data:,vbscript:,<script>and CRLF-headerinputs all still fail exactly as before. The only behavioural delta across the whole matrix is
the IDN cases.
Cyrillic and CJK, and rejects 8 malformed hosts.
The trap worth knowing about in review
The two regexes deliberately do not use the same character range:
/umodifier), so the raw byte range covers all non-ASCII.\u0080-\uFFFF. The PHP byte range would cover anumlaut but not Cyrillic or CJK.
Copying one literal into both would accept those hosts server side while silently rejecting them in
the browser, which is the same class of split this ticket is about.
test_url_field_js_regex_parity()asserts the two JS files carry the code unit form and never the PHP one.
/uis also deliberately absent from the PHP pattern:preg_match()returnsfalseon invalidUTF-8, and because the result is negated that would report valid Latin-1 input as invalid.
test_url_non_utf8_host_byte()guards this, with a precondition so it cannot pass vacuously.One more subtlety, confirmed empirically: appending the range after the trailing hyphen
(
[\da-z\.-\x80-\xff]) is not a syntax error. PCRE reads it as the range0x2E-0x80, whichsilently admits
/ ? : @ < > [inside the hostname. The negative rowshttps://a/b.comandhttps://a?b.comexist to fail if anyone ever reorders the class that way.Tests
test_url_idn_validation()- 11 must-pass values (accented Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, uppercasenon-ASCII, punycode, ASCII baseline,
localhost, non-ASCII in path/query/fragment, and theno-scheme form) and 4 must-fail values.
test_url_non_utf8_host_byte()- the/uguard.test_url_field_js_regex_parity()- asserts the rule rather than pinning the literal, and checksthe minified artifact carries the same host class as its source. Mutation-proven: green on the
real files, red when
formidable.min.jsis reverted alone, red when the PHP range is copied intothe JS source.
expected_format_errors()table.it()with "Validate this form with javascript" enabled, so it exercises thecommitted minified artifact through a real browser rather than passing via the server-side path.
php -landnode --checkare clean. phpcs, phpstan, phpunit and eslint needcomposer installplus a WordPress test database, which is not set up on this machine, so they run here in CI under
the labels below. Reviewer note: core CI is label-gated, so this PR carries
run tests,run analysisandrun e2e tests. Without them onlytyposandpsalmwould run.Manual QA note
The front end serves the combined
js/frm.min.js, which is rebuilt fromjs/formidable.min.jsonly by
FrmAppHelper::save_combined_js()(called fromFrmMigrateandFrmAddon). When testingthis by hand, delete
js/frm.min.jsor setSCRIPT_DEBUG, otherwise a stale combined file willserve the old regex and the fix will look like it did nothing.
Deliberately not fixed here
These are pre-existing and adjacent, left out to keep the change narrow. Each is a separate
behaviour decision, and they are grouped into a follow-up issue rather than lost:
ftp:,mailto:,news:,feed:andtelnet:are rejected by the format check even though thescheme allowlist a few lines above explicitly admits them - a real internal contradiction.
