Note Submitter: Fraghunter@web.de ---- Yes, carl you are right. parse_url() does parse urls like any programm would do. It is just the right way, because without a protocoll "foo.com/hello.html" IS a path - else it would not be possible to give a folder the name "foo.com". So if you have a formular were you want users who are inexperienced with the internet to enter an URL then this regexps would prove useful. You could parse the string given, replace the missing components with the right ones and then paste it together again.
