Bug #12706 Updated: parse_url misbehaves

ID: 12706 Updated by: jeroen Reported By: php.net.josef@lushnet.com Old Status: Open Status: Analyzed Bug Type: *URL Functions Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 Old Assigned To: Assigned To: jeroen New Comment: www.lalala.com isn't a valid url. The docs say nothing about such a case, so it's undefined. Use var_dump on $url to see what happens, PHP thinks www.bla.com is the path. (both linux 403 & 407, and win32 404pl1) A warning would be appropriate if the url is invalid, looking into that... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-12 07:47:06] php.net.josef@lushnet.com It seems that parse_url returns an empty host when the scheme is missing: $url = parse_url("http://www.lalala.com"); print $url["host"]; -> outputs "www.lalala.com" $url = parse_url("www.lalala.com"); print $url["host"]; -> outputs "" I tried to reproduce the bug on windows2k, but there it worked just like it should. It could of course also be that I'm a complete idiot since I've only been using PHP for a few days, but the result seems to be persistant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12706&edit=1
