#20308 [Opn->Csd]: parse_url does not understand the Mailto scheme

ID: 20308 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: Otto.Stolz@uni-konstanz.de -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: SunOS PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: After much back-and-forth on php-dev it was decided to leave parse_url() as is. To achieve the functionality you're looking for try something like the following: $addr = parse_url('mailto:testuser@example.com?Subject=Here+is+an+email'); list($email,$params) = explode("?",$addr,2); list($user,$host) = explode("@",$email,2); // $user == "testuser"; // $host == "example.com"; // $params = "Subject=Here+is+an+email"; Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-08 04:45:34] wez@php.net PHP does not parse out those parts of the mailto url; re-opening as a feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-08 03:59:26] tal@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.
