Since internally php_url has an integer field for the port, I guess it's too difficult to make it return the original port string. Regarding the filter extension, the above URL passes validation (see bug #49197). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-01 14:18:31] cataphract@php.net Partially bogus, as the documentation says, "parse_url" is not meant to validate URLs. Use the filter extension for that. The second part about it returning an int is true though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-01 13:28:17] aaz at althenia dot net Description: ------------ parse_url("http://example.com:qq"); Array ( [scheme] => http [host] => example.com ) The port number "qq" is not included, so based on this output there is no way to determine in later code that the URL was invalid. Relatedly, the port number is returned as an int, while the manual says that every component is returned as a string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53901&edit=1
