Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71822&edit=1 ID: 71822 Comment by: andi at splitbrain dot org Reported by: nigel dot greenway at futurepixels dot co dot uk Summary: parse_url on 7.1.0-dev returns false where password contains a - character Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *URL Functions Operating System: Linux - BunsenLabs PHP Version: Next Major Version Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The same problem occurs with a space in the password. I am aware that this might not be a valid URL as is (space should be escaped) however this used to work on PHP 7.0 <?php $x = parse_url('http://foo:foo bar@example.com/'); var_dump($x); ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-15 07:09:24] yohgaki@php.net https://3v4l.org/UusRf It seems released versions are fine. unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" pct-encoded = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" userinfo = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" ) https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt "so-me:pass-word" should be valid username and password. According to the RFC, "Use of the format "user:password" in the userinfo field is deprecated.", but we need to support this format anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-14 13:52:08] derick@php.net I've tried this and can reproduce this. It's changed from PHP 7.0.3 where having a - works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-14 13:40:01] nigel dot greenway at futurepixels dot co dot uk Description: ------------ Passing hyphenated username and passwords as part of a url to url_parse returns false.
