You are assuming that URLs are HTTP Resources by default, and that every URL type is following a scheme://host/path pattern, which is not the case you are right that the quoted sentence is missleading under that assumption, because parse_url defaults to the more 'natural' assumption that something that doesn't start with a scheme and looks like a valid filename or filesystem path is of scheme 'file:' -- Six Offene Systeme GmbH http://www.six.de/ i.A.
