note 86115 deleted from function.parse-url by cmb

Note Submitter: FredLudd at gmail dot com ---- Another shot at trying to find a better parser. I noticed that the laulibrius/theoriginalmarksimpson functions didn't quite handle the URL for the page they were displayed on. For my mirror, ca3, this is http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php Run it through the function and it parses to scheme => http login => pass => host => ca3.php.net ip => subdomain => ca3 domain => php. extension => net port => path => /manual/en/function.parse file => function.parse that is, the file name gets a bit mangled Rather than tweak the function's regular expression yet again, I opted to adapt a RegExp that served me well in Javascript: function j_parseUrl($url) { $r = "(?:([a-z0-9+-._]+)://)?"; $r .= "(?:"; $r .= "(?:((?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*)@)?"; $r .= "((?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*)"; $r .= "(?::(\d*))?"; $r .= "(/(?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:@/]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*)?"; $r .= "|"; $r .= "(/?"; $r .= "(?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:@]|%[0-9a-f]{2})+"; $r .= "(?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:@\/]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*"; $r .= ")?"; $r .= ")"; $r .= "(?:\?((?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:\/?@]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*))?"; $r .= "(?:#((?:[a-z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:\/?@]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*))?"; preg_match("$ri", $url, $match); $parts = array( "scheme"=>'', "userinfo"=>'', "authority"=>'', "host"=> '', "port"=>'', "path"=>'', "query"=>'', "fragment"=>''); switch (count ($match)) { case 9: $parts['fragment'] = $match[8]; case 8: $parts['query'] = $match[7]; case 7: $parts['path'] = $match[6]; case 6: $parts['path'] = $match[5] . $parts['path']; case 5: $parts['port'] = $match[4]; case 4: $parts['host'] = $match[3]; case 3: $parts['userinfo'] = $match[2]; case 2: $parts['scheme'] = $match[1]; } $parts['authority'] = ($parts['userinfo']?$parts['userinfo']."@":""). $parts['host']. ($parts['port']?":".$parts['port']:""); return $parts; } This function, when fed "http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php", returns scheme => http userinfo => authority => ca3.php.net host => ca3.php.net port => path => /manual/en/function.parse-url.php query => fragment => which is somewhat closer to my needs. But everything should be tested against the two examples provided by RFC3986, /* line too long for this site's commnet handler */ "foo://username:password@example.com:8042". "/over/there/index.dtb;type=animal?name=ferret#nose" and "urn:example:animal:ferret:nose" Here the native function parse_url() performs admirably on that "urn:" example. Mine fails to pick out the path ("example:animal:ferret:nose") and the laulibrius/theoriginalmarksimpson function can't decipher anything there. On the "foo:" example, both my function and parse_url() get it right, while the other examples on this page don't. The laulibrius/theoriginalmarksimpson function delivers scheme => foo login => username pass => password host => example.com ip => subdomain => domain => example. extension => com port => 8042 path => /over/there/index.dtb file => index.dtb As you can see, the query string ("name=ferret") and fragment ("nose") have dropped off, as well as the parameter ("type=animal").
