A wrapper for PHP’s parse_url() function that handles consistency in the return values across PHP versions.
Syntax Syntax
Description Description
PHP 5.4.7 expanded parse_url()’s ability to handle non-absolute url’s, including schemeless and relative url’s with :// in the path. This function works around those limitations providing a standard output on PHP 5.2~5.4+.
Secondly, across various PHP versions, schemeless URLs starting containing a ":" in the query are being handled inconsistently. This function works around those differences as well.
Error suppression is used as prior to PHP 5.3.3, an E_WARNING would be generated when URL parsing failed.
Parameters Parameters
- $url
-
(Required) The URL to parse.
- $component
-
(Optional) The specific component to retrieve. Use one of the PHP predefined constants to specify which one. Defaults to -1 (= return all parts as an array).
Default value: -1
Return Return
(mixed) False on parse failure; Array of URL components on success; When a specific component has been requested: null if the component doesn't exist in the given URL; a string or - in the case of PHP_URL_PORT - integer when it does. See parse_url()'s return values.
