This issue has been duplicated in bug #71646.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php That isn't a valid URL, since there's no scheme, and hence parse_url() is within its rights to return false in that case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-26 00:38:18] nikolai dot luthman at gmail dot com > From what I can gather from > http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/url-spec.txt, : is not allowed in urls.

Test script: --------------- $testString = "/1:2"; $x = parse_url($testString); var_dump( $x ); Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { ["path"]=> string(5) "/1:2" } Actual result: -------------- bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55511&edit=1
