Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79522&edit=1 ID: 79522 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: rei-ayanami at gmx dot net Summary: parse_url failed with // in partial url PHP_URL_PATH -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *URL Functions Operating System: centOS 7.7 PHP Version: 7.4.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: https://3v4l.org/RdXsK The URL is being parsed correctly. https://www.google.com/search?q=urls+starting+with+a+double+slash Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-04-26 10:22:06] rei-ayanami at gmx dot net Description: ------------ doc said https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url > Partial URLs are also accepted, parse_url() tries its best to parse them correctly. Like this "https://bugs.php.net///////report.php" is a valid URL. So I add "//" instead of "/" for relative url and function return wrong result. This happen with wrong user input in browser address bar and using parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH); Test script: --------------- // Working for absolute url $url = 'http://username:password@hostname:9090//path?arg=value#anchor'; var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH)); result: string(6) "//path" Add: But it should return "/path" instead of "//path"? // Failed for relative url $url = '//path?arg=value#anchor'; var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH)); result: NULL Should be "//path" or better "/path" but not NULL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79522&edit=1
