I, personally, would be opposed to this. Firstly, it doesn't alert users to the previous functionality being non-standards compliant. Secondly it allows the previous parser to exist in it's current state for a longer period of time, then in 8.0 exist as a function parameter. The goal should be to drop the standards-uncompliant version at some point. > Additionally, would(could) this same url parser be used for > FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, which currently states (in the docs) that it matches > RFC2396, and indeed it appears not to accept an IPv6 host segment. > I haven't yet looked at to how filter validation exists in conjunction with parse_url(), however as noted ( http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php#110411) the FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, may be strict to URL's not URN's. Maybe, a future scope could be to look at filter_var() and how it uses that filter type. Maybe could add a proper FILTER_VALIDATE_URI, or something. However that would be outside the scope of this RFC for right now, I believe. -- Dave
