note 12809 deleted from function.parse-url by jimw

I suspected there would be a function like this. One of the nice parts about PHP is that the language internals (the magic) have been made available to the scriptwriter in the form of callable functions. This drastically extends what you can do; it's not for webpages anymore. Anyway, I'm using this function to tear apart URLs and put them back together in different forms. It plus fsockopen combine to make a virtual browser which can be used for testing web sites. Eventually, there might even be something on freshmeat!
