Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43411&edit=1 ID: 43411 Comment by: alias dot mac at gmail dot com Reported by: php at koterov dot ru Summary: parse_url with relative URLs contained http:// in parameters Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: URL related PHP Version: 5.2.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Jani, It is working on 5.3.20. Example: <?php $x = 'http://example.com/path/to/somewhere? param1=x&param2=http://another.example.com/path/to/another/example/'; var_dump(parse_url($x)); $y = '/path/to/somewhere? param1=x&param2=http://another.example.com/path/to/another/example/'; var_dump(parse_url($y)); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-26 12:49:18] jani@php.net There is quite clear note in manual for parse_url(): "Note: This function doesn't work with relative URLs." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-26 12:34:59] php at koterov dot ru Description: ------------ When I pass a relative URL to parse_url and it contains something like "http://xxx" in QUERY_STRING parameters, parse_url reports that the URL is broken. So it is not always safe to call parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) I think the solution should be: if an URL is relative (started with '/'), do not report a warning when its arguments contain ":". Possibly you will say "won't fix" and "URL is not RFC-complaint", but this argument is not relevant when I call parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) (it may be hand-made and non-RFC complaint). Reproduce code: --------------- print_r(parse_url('/test/?retpath=http://xxx')); Expected result: ---------------- ok Actual result: -------------- Warning: parse_url(/test/?retpath=http://xxx): Unable to parse URL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43411&edit=1
