Checking for a valid url

Does anyone have a good regex for checking a user submitted url?

I would like to just ensure that the format does not have the http:// and that it somewhat resembles a valid url.

I will manually be clicking on the links myself to ensure they work but really want to keep the bad data out.

Any help is truly appreciated as I am lost.

Thanks

Code:

^[^.]+(\.[^.]+)+(/[^/]*)*$
