Re: [RFC] [Discussion] Query Parameter Manipulation Support

Hi Ignace, Finally, I had the capacity to work on this proposal again, after the PHP 8.6 release is now close to the finish line. I made a lot of changes to the QueryParams RFC, covering a lot of edge cases, and explicitly documenting many so far undefined behavior. Here is a short "changelog": - Immutability: QueryParams is now documented to be readonly (previously it was TBD) - Null handling: As proposed by Ignace, QueryParamNullPolicy replaces the boolean option with three choices: SkipTuple, KeyOnly (the default), and EmptyString - Limits and errors: Parsing limits apply only during parsing, while the nesting limit belongs exclusively to toArray(). Exception behavior is now specified - Type conversions: Type conversion rules are documented much more thoroughly than before - Array API: Previously open questions are decided and documented, including nested lists, duplicate keys, conflicting structures, and malformed bracket notation - URI/URL integration: The Uri/Url classes will have getQueryParams() and withQueryParams() methods to make usage and interoperability easier - Parsing details: The RFC now specifies the handling of empty fields, missing values, malformed percent-encoding, and invalid UTF-8 etc. Please give the RFC a thorough read, because I'd like to bring this proposal to a vote as soon as possible (but not sooner ^^), of course still giving interested folks a chance to provide feedback. I'm specifically looking forward to naming improvements, if there's anything to improve. Regards, Máté
