note 83828 added to function.parse-url

Based on the idea of "jbr at ya-right dot com" have I been working on a new function to parse the url: <?php function parseUrl($url) { $r = "^(?:(?P<scheme>\w+)://)?"; $r .= "(?:(?P<login>\w+):(?P<pass>\w+)@)?"; $r .= "(?P<host>(?:(?P<subdomain>[\w\.]+)\.)?" . "(?P<domain>\w+\.(?P<extension>\w+)))"; $r .= "(?::(?P<port>\d+))?"; $r .= "(?P<path>[\w/]*/(?P<file>\w+(?:\.\w+)?)?)?"; $r .= "(?:\?(?P<arg>[\w=&]+))?"; $r .= "(?:#(?P<anchor>\w+))?"; $r = "!$r!"; // Delimiters preg_match ( $r, $url, $out ); return $out; } print_r ( parseUrl ( 'me:you@sub.site.org:29000/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url' ) ); ?> This returns: Array ( [0] => me:you@sub.site.org:29000/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url [scheme] => [1] => [login] => me [2] => me [pass] => you [3] => you [host] => sub.site.org [4] => sub.site.org [subdomain] => sub [5] => sub [domain] => site.org [6] => site.org [extension] => org [7] => org [port] => 29000 [8] => 29000 [path] => /pear/validate.html [9] => /pear/validate.html [file] => validate.html [10] => validate.html [arg] => happy=me&sad=you [11] => happy=me&sad=you [anchor] => url [12] => url ) So both named and numbered array keys are possible. It's quite advanced, but I think it works in any case... Let me know if it doesn't... ---- Server IP: 193.190.67.16 Probable Submitter: 81.164.55.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83828 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83828 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83828 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
