PHP 8.3.4 Released!

parse_url

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

parse_urlAnalyse une URL et retourne ses composants

Description

parse_url(string $url, int $component = -1): int|string|array|null|false

Cette fonction analyse une URL et retourne un tableau associatif contenant tous les éléments qui y sont présents. Les valeurs des éléments du tableau NE sont PAS URL décodés

Cette fonction n'est pas faite pour valider l'URL fournie, elle ne fait que la découper en parties listées ci-dessous. Les URL partielles et invalides sont également acceptées, la fonction parse_url() fera de son mieux pour les analyser correctement.

Liste de paramètres

url

L'URL à analyser.

component

Peut être une des constantes parmi PHP_URL_SCHEME, PHP_URL_HOST, PHP_URL_PORT, PHP_URL_USER, PHP_URL_PASS, PHP_URL_PATH, PHP_URL_QUERY ou PHP_URL_FRAGMENT pour récupérer uniquement une partie de l'URL en tant que chaîne de caractères (sauf lorsque PHP_URL_PORT est fourni ; dans ce cas, la valeur retournée sera un entier).

Valeurs de retour

Pour les URL vraiment mal formées, parse_url() peut retourner false.

Si le paramètre component est omis, un array associatif est retourné. Au moins un élément sera présent dans le tableau. Voici les clés potentielles de ce tableau:

  • scheme - e.g. http
  • host
  • port
  • user
  • pass
  • path
  • query - après le point d'interrogation "?"
  • fragment - après le croisillon (dièse) "#"

Si le paramètre component est spécifié, parse_url() retourne une string (ou un entier dans le cas d'utilisation de la constante PHP_URL_PORT)au lieu d'un array. Si le composant demandé n'existe pas dans l'URL, null sera retourné. À partir de PHP 8.0.0, parse_url() distingue entre les fragments et requêtes absentes et vides :

http://example.com/foo → query = null, fragment = null
http://example.com/foo? → query = "",   fragment = null
http://example.com/foo# → query = null, fragment = ""
http://example.com/foo?# → query = "",   fragment = ""

Précédemment tout les cas résultaient en la requête et le fragment étant null.

À noter que les caractères de contrôle (cf. ctype_cntrl()) dans les composants sont remplacés par un tiret du bas (_).

Historique

Version Description
8.0.0 parse_url() distingue désormais entre les fragments et requêtes absentes et vides.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec parse_url()

<?php
$url
= 'http://username:password@hostname:9090/path?arg=value#anchor';

var_dump(parse_url($url));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_SCHEME));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_USER));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PASS));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PORT));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_FRAGMENT));
?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

array(8) {
  ["scheme"]=>
  string(4) "http"
  ["host"]=>
  string(8) "hostname"
  ["port"]=>
  int(9090)
  ["user"]=>
  string(8) "username"
  ["pass"]=>
  string(8) "password"
  ["path"]=>
  string(5) "/path"
  ["query"]=>
  string(9) "arg=value"
  ["fragment"]=>
  string(6) "anchor"
}
string(4) "http"
string(8) "username"
string(8) "password"
string(8) "hostname"
int(9090)
string(5) "/path"
string(9) "arg=value"
string(6) "anchor"

Exemple #2 Exemple avec la fonction parse_url() sans schéma

<?php
$url
= '//www.example.com/path?googleguy=googley';

// Avant PHP 5.4.7, le chemin sera "//www.example.com/path"
var_dump(parse_url($url));
?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

array(3) {
  ["host"]=>
  string(15) "www.example.com"
  ["path"]=>
  string(5) "/path"
  ["query"]=>
  string(17) "googleguy=googley"
}

Notes

Attention

Cette fonction peut ne pas donner des résultats corrects pour les URLs relatives ou invalides et les résultats peuvent ne pas correspondre au comportement standard des clients HTTP. Si des URLs venant d'entré utilisateur doivent être analysé, des vérifications supplémentaires sont requises, par exemple en utilisant filter_var() avec le filtre FILTER_VALIDATE_URL.

Note:

parse_url() a été créée tout spécialement pour analyser les URL et non les URI. Cependant, pour des raisons de compatibilité adjacente, PHP fait une exception pour le schéma file:// où les triples slashs (file:///...) sont autorisés. Tous les autres schémas sont invalides.

[If you haven't yet] been able to find a simple conversion back to string from a parsed url, here's an example:

<?php

$url
= 'http://usr:pss@example.com:81/mypath/myfile.html?a=b&b[]=2&b[]=3#myfragment';
if (
$url === unparse_url(parse_url($url))) {
print
"YES, they match!\n";
}

function
unparse_url($parsed_url) {
$scheme = isset($parsed_url['scheme']) ? $parsed_url['scheme'] . '://' : '';
$host = isset($parsed_url['host']) ? $parsed_url['host'] : '';
$port = isset($parsed_url['port']) ? ':' . $parsed_url['port'] : '';
$user = isset($parsed_url['user']) ? $parsed_url['user'] : '';
$pass = isset($parsed_url['pass']) ? ':' . $parsed_url['pass'] : '';
$pass = ($user || $pass) ? "$pass@" : '';
$path = isset($parsed_url['path']) ? $parsed_url['path'] : '';
$query = isset($parsed_url['query']) ? '?' . $parsed_url['query'] : '';
$fragment = isset($parsed_url['fragment']) ? '#' . $parsed_url['fragment'] : '';
return
"$scheme$user$pass$host$port$path$query$fragment";
}

Unfortunately parse_url() DO NOT parse correctly urls without scheme or '//'. For example 'www.xyz.com' is consider as path not host:

Code:
<?php
var_dump
(parse_url('www.xyz.com'));
?>
Output:
array(1) {
["path"]=>
string(10) "www.xyz.com"
}

To get better output change url to:
'//www.xyz.com' or 'http://www.xyz.com'

Here is utf-8 compatible parse_url() replacement function based on "laszlo dot janszky at gmail dot com" work. Original incorrectly handled URLs with user:pass. Also made PHP 5.5 compatible (got rid of now deprecated regex /e modifier).

<?php

* @return array
*/
function mb_parse_url($url)
{
$enc_url = preg_replace_callback(
'%[^:/@?&=#]+%usD',
function (
$matches)
{
return
urlencode($matches[0]);
},
$url
);

$parts = parse_url($enc_url);

if(
$parts === false)
{
throw new
\InvalidArgumentException('Malformed URL: ' . $url);

It may be worth reminding that the value of the #fragment never gets sent to the server. Anchors processing is exclusively client-side.

Here's a function which implements resolving a relative URL according to RFC 2396 section 5.2. No doubt there are more efficient implementations, but this one tries to remain close to the standard for clarity. It relies on a function called "unparse_url" to implement section 7, left as an exercise for the reader (or you can substitute the "glue_url" function posted earlier).

<?php
/**
* Resolve a URL relative to a base path. This happens to work with POSIX
* filenames as well. This is based on RFC 2396 section 5.2.
*/
function resolve_url($base, $url) {
if (!
strlen($base)) return $url;
// Step 2
if (!strlen($url)) return $base;
// Step 3
if (preg_match('!^[a-z]+:!i', $url)) return $url;
$base = parse_url($base);
if (
$url{0} == "#") {
// Step 2 (fragment)
$base['fragment'] = substr($url, 1);
return
unparse_url($base);
}
unset(
$base['fragment']);
unset(
$base['query']);
if (
substr($url, 0, 2) == "//") {
// Step 4
return unparse_url(array(
'scheme'=>$base['scheme'],
'path'=>$url,
));
} else if (
$url{0} == "/") {
// Step 5
$base['path'] = $url;
} else {
// Step 6
$path = explode('/', $base['path']);
$url_path = explode('/', $url);
// Step 6a: drop file from base
array_pop($path);
// Step 6b, 6c, 6e: append url while removing "." and ".." from
// the directory portion
$end = array_pop($url_path);
foreach (
$url_path as $segment) {
if (
$segment == '.') {
// skip
} else if ($segment == '..' && $path && $path[sizeof($path)-1] != '..') {
array_pop($path);
} else {
$path[] = $segment;
}
}
// Step 6d, 6f: remove "." and ".." from file portion
if ($end == '.') {
$path[] = '';
} else if (
$end == '..' && $path && $path[sizeof($path)-1] != '..') {
$path[sizeof($path)-1] = '';
} else {
$path[] = $end;
}
// Step 6h
$base['path'] = join('/', $path);

}
// Step 7
return unparse_url($base);
}

I was writing unit tests and needed to cause this function to kick out an error and return FALSE in order to test a specific execution path. If anyone else needs to force a failure, the following inputs will work:

<?php
parse_url
("http:///example.com");
parse_url("http://:80");
parse_url("http://user@:80");

I have coded a function which converts relative URL to absolute URL for a project of mine. Considering I could not find it elsewhere, I figured I would post it here.

The following function takes in 2 parameters, the first parameter is the URL you want to convert from relative to absolute, and the second parameter is a sample of the absolute URL.

Currently it does not resolve '../' in the URL, only because I do not need it. Most webservers will resolve this for you. If you want it to resolve the '../' in the path, it just takes minor modifications.

<?php

function relativeToAbsolute($inurl, $absolute) {
// Get all parts so not getting them multiple times :)
$absolute_parts = parse_url($absolute);
// Test if URL is already absolute (contains host, or begins with '/')
if ( (strpos($inurl, $absolute_parts['host']) == false) ) {
// Define $tmpurlprefix to prevent errors below
$tmpurlprefix = "";
// Formulate URL prefix (SCHEME)
if (!(empty($absolute_parts['scheme']))) {
// Add scheme to tmpurlprefix
$tmpurlprefix .= $absolute_parts['scheme'] . "://";
}
// Formulate URL prefix (USER, PASS)
if ((!(empty($absolute_parts['user']))) and (!(empty($absolute_parts['pass'])))) {
// Add user:port to tmpurlprefix
$tmpurlprefix .= $absolute_parts['user'] . ":" . $absolute_parts['pass'] . "@";
}
// Formulate URL prefix (HOST, PORT)
if (!(empty($absolute_parts['host']))) {
// Add host to tmpurlprefix
$tmpurlprefix .= $absolute_parts['host'];
// Check for a port, add if exists
if (!(empty($absolute_parts['port']))) {
// Add port to tmpurlprefix
$tmpurlprefix .= ":" . $absolute_parts['port'];
}
}
// Formulate URL prefix (PATH) and only add it if the path to image does not include ./
if ( (!(empty($absolute_parts['path']))) and (substr($inurl, 0, 1) != '/') ) {
// Get path parts
$path_parts = pathinfo($absolute_parts['path']);
// Add path to tmpurlprefix
$tmpurlprefix .= $path_parts['dirname'];
$tmpurlprefix .= "/";
}
else {
$tmpurlprefix .= "/";
}
// Lets remove the '/'
if (substr($inurl, 0, 1) == '/') { $inurl = substr($inurl, 1); }
// Lets remove the './'
if (substr($inurl, 0, 2) == './') { $inurl = substr($inurl, 2); }
return
$tmpurlprefix . $inurl;
}
else {
// Path is already absolute. Return it :)
return $inurl;
}
}

// Define a sample absolute URL
$absolute = "http://" . "user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/index.html"; // Just evading php.net spam filter, not sure how example.com is spam...

/* EXAMPLE 1 */
echo relativeToAbsolute($absolute, $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 2 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 3 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("/img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 4 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("./img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 5 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("../img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 6 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("images/img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 7 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("/images/img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 8 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("./images/img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";
/* EXAMPLE 9 */
echo relativeToAbsolute("../images/img.gif", $absolute) . "\n";

?>

OUTPUTS:
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/index.html
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/../img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/images/img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/images/img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/images/img.gif
http :// user:pass@example.com:8080/path/to/../images/img.gif

Sorry if the above code is not your style, or if you see it as "messy" or you think there is a better way to do it. I removed as much of the white space as possible.

Improvements are welcome :)

Based on the idea of "jbr at ya-right dot com" have I been working on a new function to parse the url:

<?php
function parseUrl($url) {
$r = "^(?:(?P<scheme>\w+)://)?";
$r .= "(?:(?P<login>\w+):(?P<pass>\w+)@)?";
$r .= "(?P<host>(?:(?P<subdomain>[\w\.]+)\.)?" . "(?P<domain>\w+\.(?P<extension>\w+)))";
$r .= "(?::(?P<port>\d+))?";
$r .= "(?P<path>[\w/]*/(?P<file>\w+(?:\.\w+)?)?)?";
$r .= "(?:\?(?P<arg>[\w=&]+))?";
$r .= "(?:#(?P<anchor>\w+))?";
$r = "!$r!"; // Delimiters

preg_match ( $r, $url, $out );

return
$out;
}
print_r ( parseUrl ( 'me:you@sub.site.org:29000/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url' ) );
?>

This returns:
Array
(
[0] => me:you@sub.site.org:29000/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url
[scheme] =>
[1] =>
[login] => me
[2] => me
[pass] => you
[3] => you
[host] => sub.site.org
[4] => sub.site.org
[subdomain] => sub
[5] => sub
[domain] => site.org
[6] => site.org
[extension] => org
[7] => org
[port] => 29000
[8] => 29000
[path] => /pear/validate.html
[9] => /pear/validate.html
[file] => validate.html
[10] => validate.html
[arg] => happy=me&sad=you
[11] => happy=me&sad=you
[anchor] => url
[12] => url
)

So both named and numbered array keys are possible.

It's quite advanced, but I think it works in any case... Let me know if it doesn't...

UTF-8 aware parse_url() replacement.

I've realized that even though UTF-8 characters are not allowed in URL's, I have to work with a lot of them and parse_url() will break.

Based largely on the work of "mallluhuct at gmail dot com", I added parse_url() compatible "named values" which makes the array values a lot easier to work with (instead of just numbers). I also implemented detection of port, username/password and a back-reference to better detect URL's like this: //en.wikipedia.com
... which, although is technically an invalid URL, it's used extensively on sites like wikipedia in the href of anchor tags where it's valid in browsers (one of the types of URL's you have to support when crawling pages). This will be accurately detected as the host name instead of "path" as in all other examples.

I will submit my complete function (instead of just the RegExp) which is an almost "drop-in" replacement for parse_url(). It returns a cleaned up array (or false) with values compatible with parse_url(). I could have told the preg_match() not to store the unused extra values, but it would complicate the RegExp and make it more difficult to read, understand and extend. The key to detecting UTF-8 characters is the use of the "u" parameter in preg_match().

<?php
function parse_utf8_url($url)
{
static
$keys = array('scheme'=>0,'user'=>0,'pass'=>0,'host'=>0,'port'=>0,'path'=>0,'query'=>0,'fragment'=>0);
if (
is_string($url) && preg_match(
'~^((?P<scheme>[^:/?#]+):(//))?((\\3|//)?(?:(?P<user>[^:]+):(?P<pass>[^@]+)@)?(?P<host>[^/?:#]*))(:(?P<port>\\d+))?' .
'(?P<path>[^?#]*)(\\?(?P<query>[^#]*))?(#(?P<fragment>.*))?~u', $url, $matches))
{
foreach (
$matches as $key => $value)
if (!isset(
$keys[$key]) || empty($value))
unset(
$matches[$key]);
return
$matches;
}
return
false;
}
?>

UTF-8 URL's can/should be "normalized" after extraction with this function.

There's a quirk where this function will return the host as the "path" if there is a leading space.

<?php

$url
= ' https://foobar.com:80/mypath/myfile.php';

print_r(parse_url($url));
/*
Array
(
[path] => https://foobar.com:80/mypath/myfile.php
)
*/

print_r(trim(parse_url($url)));
/*
Array
(
[scheme] => https
[host] => foobar.com
[port] => 80
[path] => /mypath/myfile.php
)
*/

parse_url doesn't works if the protocol doesn't specified. This seems like sandard, even the youtube doesn't gives the protocol name when generates code for embedding which have a look like "//youtube.com/etc".

So, to avoid bug, you must always check, whether the provided url has the protocol, and if not (starts with 2 slashes) -- add the "http:" prefix.

There is a change in PHP 7 (I noticed it in 7.1 upgrading from 5.3) where if the password portion has an octothorpe (#) in it, parsing fails in 7.1, whereas it succeeds in 5.3.

parse_url() does not parse some obvious errors so I made a complementary function

function url_check(string $url){
$sym = null;

$len = strlen($url);
for ($i=0; $i<$len; $i++){
if ($url[$i] == '?'){
if ($sym == '?' || $sym == '&')
return false;

$sym = '?';
}elseif ($url[$i] == '&'){
if ($sym === null)
return false;

$sym = '&';
}
}
return true;

Here's a good way to using parse_url () gets the youtube link.
This function I used in many works:

<?php
function youtube($url, $width=560, $height=315, $fullscreen=true)
{
parse_str( parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_QUERY ), $my_array_of_vars );
$youtube= '<iframe allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/'.$my_array_of_vars['v'].'" frameborder="0"'.($fullscreen?' allowfullscreen':NULL).'></iframe>';
return
$youtube;
}

// show youtube on my page
$url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvTd6XxgCBE';
youtube($url, 560, 315, true);
?>

parse_url () allocates a unique youtube code and put into iframe link and displayed on your page. The size of the videos choose yourself.

Enjoy.

Hello, for some odd reason, parse_url returns the host (ex. example.com) as the path when no scheme is provided in the input url. So I've written a quick function to get the real host:

<?php
function getHost($Address) {
$parseUrl = parse_url(trim($Address));
return
trim($parseUrl[host] ? $parseUrl[host] : array_shift(explode('/', $parseUrl[path], 2)));
}

getHost("example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("http://example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("www.example.com"); // Gives www.example.com
getHost("http://example.com/xyz"); // Gives example.com
?>

You could try anything! It gives the host (including the subdomain if exists).

Hope it helped you.

In reply to adrian,

Thank you very much for your function. There is a small issue with your relative protocol function. You need to remove the // when making the url the path. Here is the new function.

function resolve_url($base, $url) {
if (!strlen($base)) return $url;
// Step 2
if (!strlen($url)) return $base;
// Step 3
if (preg_match('!^[a-z]+:!i', $url)) return $url;
$base = parse_url($base);
if ($url{0} == "#") {
// Step 2 (fragment)
$base['fragment'] = substr($url, 1);
return unparse_url($base);
}
unset($base['fragment']);
unset($base['query']);
if (substr($url, 0, 2) == "//") {
// Step 4
return unparse_url(array(
'scheme'=>$base['scheme'],
'path'=>substr($url,2),
));
} else if ($url{0} == "/") {
// Step 5
$base['path'] = $url;
} else {
// Step 6
$path = explode('/', $base['path']);
$url_path = explode('/', $url);
// Step 6a: drop file from base
array_pop($path);
// Step 6b, 6c, 6e: append url while removing "." and ".." from
// the directory portion
$end = array_pop($url_path);
foreach ($url_path as $segment) {
if ($segment == '.') {
// skip
} else if ($segment == '..' && $path && $path[sizeof($path)-1] != '..') {
array_pop($path);
} else {
$path[] = $segment;
}
}
// Step 6d, 6f: remove "." and ".." from file portion
if ($end == '.') {
$path[] = '';
} else if ($end == '..' && $path && $path[sizeof($path)-1] != '..') {
$path[sizeof($path)-1] = '';
} else {
$path[] = $end;
}
// Step 6h
$base['path'] = join('/', $path);

}
// Step 7
return unparse_url($base);
}

My hamble improvements to the famouse `unparse_url` function by "thomas at gielfeldt dot com":

```php
/**
* @param array $parsedUrl -- result of the library `parse_url()` function
*
* @return string
*/
function unparseUrl(array $parsedUrl): string
{
// PHP_URL_SCHEME
$scheme = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_SCHEME]) ? '' : (rtrim($parsedUrl['scheme'], ':/') . '://');

$user = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_USER]) ? '' : rtrim($parsedUrl['user'], '@:');
$pass = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_PASS]) ? '' : (':' . trim($parsedUrl['pass'], '@:'));

$pass = !$user ? '' : ($pass . '@');

$host = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_HOST]) ? '' : rtrim($parsedUrl['host'], '/');
$port = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_PORT]) ? '' : (':' . (int)ltrim($parsedUrl['port'], ':'));
$path = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_PATH]) ? '' : ('/' . ltrim($parsedUrl['path'], '/'));

$host = ($host && !$port && !$path) ? $parsedUrl['host'] : $host;
$path = ($path && !$host && !$port) ? $parsedUrl['path'] : $path;

$query = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_QUERY]) ? '' : ('?' . ltrim($parsedUrl['query'], '?'));
$fragment = empty($parsedUrl[PHP_URL_FRAGMENT]) ? '' : ('#' . ltrim($parsedUrl['fragment'], '#'));

return "$scheme$user$pass$host$port$path$query$fragment";
}

This function will attempt to parse relative URLs but relaying on it can produce unexpected behavior that can cause some hard to track bugs. (The following results are obtained from PHP 5.5.19)

Attempting to parse a url like this
http://example.com/entities/GOA:98/?search=8989157d1f22
Correctly produces
<?php
array (
'scheme' => 'http',
'host' => 'example.com',
'path' => '/entities/GOA:98/',
'query' => 'search=8989157d1f22',
);
?>

However, Attempting to parse the relative URL
entities/GOA:98/?search=8989157d1f22
<?php
array (
'host' => 'entities',
'port' => 98,
'path' => '/GOA:98/',
'query' => 'search=8989157d1f22',
)
?>
If I change :98 to :A98 parse_url parses the URL correctly as
<?php
array (
'path' => 'entities/GOA:A98/',
'query' => 'search=8989157d1f22',
)
?>
Bottom line, Avoid using parse_url for relative urls unless you have tested the expected input and you know parse_url will handle them well.

I've been working on a generic class that would make URI parsing / building a little easier.

The composer package is here: https://packagist.org/packages/enrise/urihelper

And the repository is here: https://github.com/Enrise/UriHelper

An example of the usage:

<?php
$uri
= new \Enrise\Uri('http://usr:pss@example.com:81/mypath/myfile.html?a=b&b[]=2&b[]=3#myfragment');
echo
$uri->getScheme(); // http
echo $uri->getUser(); // usr
echo $uri->getPass(); // pss
echo $uri->getHost(); // example.com
echo $uri->getPort(); // 81
echo $uri->getPath(); // /mypath/myfile.html
echo $uri->getQuery(); // a=b&b[]=2&b[]=3
echo $uri->getFragment(); // myfragment
echo $uri->isSchemeless(); // false
echo $uri->isRelative(); // false

$uri->setScheme('scheme:child:scheme.VALIDscheme123:');
$uri->setPort(null);

echo
$uri->getUri(); //scheme:child:scheme.VALIDscheme123:usr:pss@example.com/mypath/myfile.html?a=b&b[]=2&b[]=3#myfragment

Here's a simple class I made that makes use of this parse_url.
I needed a way for a page to retain get parameters but also edit or add onto them.
I also had some pages that needed the same GET paramaters so I also added a way to change the path.

<?php
class Paths{

private
$url;
public function
__construct($url){
$this->url = parse_url($url);
}

public function
returnUrl(){
$return = $this->url['path'].'?'.$this->url['query'];
$return = (substr($return,-1) == "&")? substr($return,0,-1) : $return;
$this->resetQuery();
return
$return;
}

public function
changePath($path){
$this->url['path'] = $path;
}

public function
editQuery($get,$value){
$parts = explode("&",$this->url['query']);
$return = "";
foreach(
$parts as $p){
$paramData = explode("=",$p);
if(
$paramData[0] == $get){
$paramData[1] = $value;
}
$return .= implode("=",$paramData).'&';

}

$this->url['query'] = $return;
}

public function
addQuery($get,$value){
$part = $get."=".$value;
$and = ($this->url['query'] == "?") ? "" : "&";
$this->url['query'] .= $and.$part;
}

public function
checkQuery($get){
$parts = explode("&",$this->url['query']);

foreach(
$parts as $p){
$paramData = explode("=",$p);
if(
$paramData[0] == $get)
return
true;
}
return
false;

}

public function
buildQuery($get,$value){
if(
$this->checkQuery($get))
$this->editQuery($get,$value);
else
$this->addQuery($get,$value);

}

public function
resetQuery(){
$this->url = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}




}
?>

Useage:

Test.php?foo=1:

<?php
$path
= new Paths($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$path->changePath("/baz.php");
$path->buildQuery("foo",2);
$path->buildQuery("bar",3);
echo
$path->returnUrl();
?>

returns: /baz.php?foo=2&bar=3

Hope this is of some use to someone!

Thanks to xellisx for his parse_query function. I used it in one of my projects and it works well. But it has an error. I fixed the error and improved it a little bit. Here is my version of it:

<?php
// Originally written by xellisx
function parse_query($var)
{
/**
* Use this function to parse out the query array element from
* the output of parse_url().
*/
$var = parse_url($var, PHP_URL_QUERY);
$var = html_entity_decode($var);
$var = explode('&', $var);
$arr = array();

foreach(
$var as $val)
{
$x = explode('=', $val);
$arr[$x[0]] = $x[1];
}
unset(
$val, $x, $var);
return
$arr;
}
?>

At the first line there was parse_query($val), I made it $var. It used to return a null array before this fix.

I have added the parse_url line. So now the function will only focus in the query part, not the whole URL. This is useful if something like below is done:
<?php
$my_GET
= parse_query($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
?>

Some example that determines the URL port.
When port not specified, it derives it from the scheme.

<?php
function getUrlPort( $urlInfo )
{
if( isset(
$urlInfo['port']) ) {
$port = $urlInfo['port'];
} else {
// no port specified; get default port
if (isset($urlInfo['scheme']) ) {
switch(
$urlInfo['scheme'] ) {
case
'http':
$port = 80; // default for http
break;
case
'https':
$port = 443; // default for https
break;
case
'ftp':
$port = 21; // default for ftp
break;
case
'ftps':
$port = 990; // default for ftps
break;
default:
$port = 0; // error; unsupported scheme
break;
}
} else {
$port = 0; // error; unknown scheme
}
}
return
$port;
}

$url = "http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php";
$urlInfo = parse_url( $url );
$urlPort = getUrlPort( $urlInfo );
if(
$urlPort !== 0 ) {
print
'Found URL port: '.$urlPort;
} else {
print
'ERROR: Could not find port at URL: '.$url;
}

@ solenoid: Your code was very helpful, but it fails when the current URL has no query string (it appends '&' instead of '?' before the query). Below is a fixed version that catches this edge case and corrects it.

<?php
function modify_url($mod)
{
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$query = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if (!
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) {$queryStart = "?";} else {$queryStart = "&";}
// modify/delete data
foreach($query as $q)
{
list(
$key, $value) = explode("=", $q);
if(
array_key_exists($key, $mod))
{
if(
$mod[$key])
{
$url = preg_replace('/'.$key.'='.$value.'/', $key.'='.$mod[$key], $url);
}
else
{
$url = preg_replace('/&?'.$key.'='.$value.'/', '', $url);
}
}
}
// add new data
foreach($mod as $key => $value)
{
if(
$value && !preg_match('/'.$key.'=/', $url))
{
$url .= $queryStart.$key.'='.$value;
}
}
return
$url;
}

Here's a piece of code that modifies, replaces or removes the url query. This can typically used in paging situations where there are more parameters than the page.

<?php
function modify_url($mod)
{
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$query = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
// modify/delete data
foreach($query as $q)
{
list(
$key, $value) = explode("=", $q);
if(
array_key_exists($key, $mod))
{
if(
$mod[$key])
{
$url = preg_replace('/'.$key.'='.$value.'/', $key.'='.$mod[$key], $url);
}
else
{
$url = preg_replace('/&?'.$key.'='.$value.'/', '', $url);
}
}
}
// add new data
foreach($mod as $key => $value)
{
if(
$value && !preg_match('/'.$key.'=/', $url))
{
$url .= '&'.$key.'='.$value;
}
}
return
$url;
}

// page url: "http://www.example.com/page.php?p=5&show=list&style=23"

$url = modify_url(array('p' => 4, 'show' => 'column'));

// $url = "http://www.example.com/page.php?p=4&show=column&style=23"

Using a double slash ('//') in a url will be regarded as unparseble string and will return NULL

<?php
$result
= parse_url('http://api.example.com//resource');

// $result = null

?>

While not directly related to the above, I found this page seeking how to access REST style domain.com?key1=value1&key2=value2 type parameters. After reading the page and comments, want to add this to help others who might find themselves here seeking the same solution.

Given: domain.com?key1=value1&key2=value2

echo $_GET['key2']; // output: 'value2'

PHP makes this easier than just about any other language IMO.

This function 'parse_rebuild_url' will parse and reassemble your URL with new values provided by the 'overwrite_parsed_url_array' back together.
It is also possible to overwrite the URL components by key name and to merge or overwrite query parameters.
<?php

$test_url
= 'http://usr:pss@example.com:81/mypath/myfile.html?a=b&b[]=2&b[]=3&z=9#myfragment';

$new_url_01_overwrite_query_params = parse_rebuild_url( $test_url, array(
'host' => 'new-hostname.tld',
'query' => array(
'test' => 'Hello World',
'a' => array( 'c', 'd' ),
'z' => 8
),
'fragment' => 'new-fragment-value'
), false );

$new_url_02_mergewith_query_params = parse_rebuild_url( $test_url, array(
'query' => array(
'test' => 'Hello World',
'a' => array( 'c', 'd' ),
'z' => 8
),
'fragment' => 'new-fragment-value'
), true );

function
parse_rebuild_url( $url, $overwrite_parsed_url_array, $merge_query_parameters = true ) {

$parsed_url_array = parse_url( $url );
$parsed_url_keys_array = array(
'scheme' => null,
'abempty' => isset( $parsed_url_array['scheme'] ) ? '://' : null,
'user' => null,
'authcolon' => isset( $parsed_url_array['pass'] ) ? ':' : null,
'pass' => null,
'authat' => isset( $parsed_url_array['user'] ) ? '@' : null,
'host' => null,
'portcolon' => isset( $parsed_url_array['port'] ) ? ':' : null,
'port' => null,
'path' => null,
'param' => isset( $parsed_url_array['query'] ) ? '?' : null,
'query' => null,
'hash' => isset( $parsed_url_array['fragment'] ) ? '#' : null,
'fragment' => null
);

if ( isset(
$parsed_url_array['query'] ) && $merge_query_parameters === true ) {
parse_str( $parsed_url_array['query'], $query_array );
$overwrite_parsed_url_array['query'] = array_merge_recursive( $query_array, $overwrite_parsed_url_array['query'] );
}

$query_parameters = http_build_query( $overwrite_parsed_url_array['query'], null, '&', PHP_QUERY_RFC1738 );
$overwrite_parsed_url_array['query'] = urldecode( preg_replace( '/%5B[0-9]+%5D/simU', '%5B%5D', $query_parameters ) );

$fully_parsed_url_array = array_filter( array_merge( $parsed_url_keys_array, $parsed_url_array, $overwrite_parsed_url_array ) );
return

Hello, for some odd reason, parse_url returns the host (ex. example.com) as the path when no scheme is provided in the input url. So I've written a quick function to get the real host:

<?php
function getHost($Address) {
$parseUrl = parse_url(trim($Address));
return
trim($parseUrl[host] ? $parseUrl[host] : array_shift(explode('/', $parseUrl[path], 2)));
}

getHost("example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("http://example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("www.example.com"); // Gives www.example.com
getHost("http://example.com/xyz"); // Gives example.com
?>

You could try anything! It gives the host (including the subdomain if exists).

Hope it helped you.

To get the params (url query) as Associative array, use this function:

<?php
/**
* Returns the url query as associative array
*
* @param string query
* @return array params
*/
function convertUrlQuery($query) {
$queryParts = explode('&', $query);

$params = array();
foreach (
$queryParts as $param) {
$item = explode('=', $param);
$params[$item[0]] = $item[1];
}

return
$params;
}
?>
