(PHP 4, PHP 5)
parse_url — 解析 URL,返回其组成部分
本函数解析一个 URL 并返回一个关联数组,包含在 URL 中出现的各种组成部分。
本函数不是用来验证给定 URL 的合法性的,只是将其分解为下面列出的部分。不完整的 URL 也被接受, parse_url() 会尝试尽量正确地将其解析。
url
要解析的 URL。无效字符将使用 _ 来替换。
对严重不合格的 URL, parse_url() 可能会返回
FALSE
。
如果省略了 component
参数,将返回一个关联数组 array,在目前至少会有一个元素在该数组中。数组中可能的键有以下几种:
如果指定了 component
参数,
parse_url() 返回一个 string (或在指定为 PHP_URL_PORT
时返回一个 integer)而不是 array。如果 URL 中指定的组成部分不存在,将会返回 NULL
。
版本 | 说明 |
---|---|
5.4.7 | 修复了 host 在 协议 省略时的识别。 |
5.3.3 |
在 URL 解析失败时将不会产生 E_WARNING 级别的错误。
|
5.1.2 | 增加了参数 component 。 |
Example #1 parse_url() 例子
<?php
$url = 'http://username:password@hostname/path?arg=value#anchor';
print_r(parse_url($url));
echo parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
?>
以上例程会输出:
Array ( [scheme] => http [host] => hostname [user] => username [pass] => password [path] => /path [query] => arg=value [fragment] => anchor ) /path
Example #2 parse_url() 解析丢失协议的例子
<?php
$url = '//www.example.com/path?googleguy=googley';
// 在 5.4.7 之前这会输出路径 "//www.example.com/path"
var_dump(parse_url($url));
?>
以上例程会输出:
array(3) { ["host"]=> string(15) "www.example.com" ["path"]=> string(5) "/path" ["query"]=> string(17) "googleguy=googley" }
Note:
本函数不能用于相对 URL。
Note:
parse_url() 是专门用来解析 URL 而不是 URI 的。不过为遵从 PHP 向后兼容的需要有个例外,对 file:// 协议允许三个斜线(file:///...)。其它任何协议都不能这样。
utilmind (2013-07-01 00:06:04)
parse_url doesn't works if the protocol doesn't specified. This seems like sandard, even the youtube doesn't gives the protocol name when generates code for embedding which have a look like "//youtube.com/etc".
So, to avoid bug, you must always check, whether the provided url has the protocol, and if not (starts with 2 slashes) -- add the "http:" prefix.

You could write a wrapper for parse_url to convert the query string into an array, using parse_str() as follows:
<?php
/**
* Split a given URL into its components.
* Uses parse_url() followed by parse_str() on the query string.
*
* @param string $url The string to decode.
* @return array Associative array containing the different components.
*/
function parse_url_detail($url){
$parts = parse_url($url);
if(isset($parts['query'])) {
parse_str(urldecode($parts['query']), $parts['query']);
}
return $parts;
}
?>

for a query string in the form page.php?fail you can check array_keys($_GET)
dev at qwerty dot ms (2012-05-26 20:10:45)
All of those who are writing parse_query functions to parse URL queries should note two things (as seen above, everyone trying, got these missing).
1. Fields can be separated by semicolons also, not just the &, thus:
field1=val1;field2=val2
is a valid query, with two fields. So instead exploding on & you should split like:
<?php
$queryFields = split('[;&]', $data['query']);
?>
2. Fields don't necessarily get values. As seen on many places, there are URLs like
page.php?fail
So you should test if you get a second return value after exploding on equal sign

Created another parse_url utf-8 compatible function.
<?php
function mb_parse_url($url) {
$encodedUrl = preg_replace('%[^:/?#&=\.]+%usDe', 'urlencode(\'$0\')', $url);
$components = parse_url($encodedUrl);
foreach ($components as &$component)
$component = urldecode($component);
return $components;
}
?>

UTF-8 aware parse_url() replacement.
I've realized that even though UTF-8 characters are not allowed in URL's, I have to work with a lot of them and parse_url() will break.
Based largely on the work of "mallluhuct at gmail dot com", I added parse_url() compatible "named values" which makes the array values a lot easier to work with (instead of just numbers). I also implemented detection of port, username/password and a back-reference to better detect URL's like this: //en.wikipedia.com
... which, although is technically an invalid URL, it's used extensively on sites like wikipedia in the href of anchor tags where it's valid in browsers (one of the types of URL's you have to support when crawling pages). This will be accurately detected as the host name instead of "path" as in all other examples.
I will submit my complete function (instead of just the RegExp) which is an almost "drop-in" replacement for parse_url(). It returns a cleaned up array (or false) with values compatible with parse_url(). I could have told the preg_match() not to store the unused extra values, but it would complicate the RegExp and make it more difficult to read, understand and extend. The key to detecting UTF-8 characters is the use of the "u" parameter in preg_match().
<?php
function parse_utf8_url($url)
{
static $keys = array('scheme'=>0,'user'=>0,'pass'=>0,'host'=>0,'port'=>0,'path'=>0,'query'=>0,'fragment'=>0);
if (is_string($url) && preg_match(
'~^((?P<scheme>[^:/?#]+):(//))?((\\3|//)?(?:(?P<user>[^:]+):(?P<pass>[^@]+)@)?(?P<host>[^/?:#]*))(:(?P<port>\\d+))?' .
'(?P<path>[^?#]*)(\\?(?P<query>[^#]*))?(#(?P<fragment>.*))?~u', $url, $matches))
{
foreach ($matches as $key => $value)
if (!isset($keys[$key]) || empty($value))
unset($matches[$key]);
return $matches;
}
return false;
}
?>
UTF-8 URL's can/should be "normalized" after extraction with this function.

[If you haven't yet] been able to find a simple conversion back to string from a parsed url, here's an example:
<?php
$url = 'http://usr:pss@example.com:81/mypath/myfile.html?a=b&b[]=2&b[]=3#myfragment';
if ($url === unparse_url(parse_url($url))) {
print "YES, they match!\n";
}
function unparse_url($parsed_url) {
$scheme = isset($parsed_url['scheme']) ? $parsed_url['scheme'] . '://' : '';
$host = isset($parsed_url['host']) ? $parsed_url['host'] : '';
$port = isset($parsed_url['port']) ? ':' . $parsed_url['port'] : '';
$user = isset($parsed_url['user']) ? $parsed_url['user'] : '';
$pass = isset($parsed_url['pass']) ? ':' . $parsed_url['pass'] : '';
$pass = ($user || $pass) ? "$pass@" : '';
$path = isset($parsed_url['path']) ? $parsed_url['path'] : '';
$query = isset($parsed_url['query']) ? '?' . $parsed_url['query'] : '';
$fragment = isset($parsed_url['fragment']) ? '#' . $parsed_url['fragment'] : '';
return "$scheme$user$pass$host$port$path$query$fragment";
}

From rfc3986:
As the "first-match-wins" algorithm is identical to the "greedy"
disambiguation method used by POSIX regular expressions, it is
natural and commonplace to use a regular expression for parsing the
potential five components of a URI reference.
The following line is the regular expression for breaking-down a
well-formed URI reference into its components.
^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?
12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
The numbers in the second line above are only to assist readability;
they indicate the reference points for each subexpression (i.e., each
paired parenthesis). We refer to the value matched for subexpression
<n> as $<n>. For example, matching the above expression to
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/#Related
results in the following subexpression matches:
$1 = http:
$2 = http
$3 = //www.ics.uci.edu
$4 = www.ics.uci.edu
$5 = /pub/ietf/uri/
$6 = <undefined>
$7 = <undefined>
$8 = #Related
$9 = Related
where <undefined> indicates that the component is not present, as is
the case for the query component in the above example. Therefore, we
can determine the value of the five components as
scheme = $2
authority = $4
path = $5
query = $7
fragment = $9
Going in the opposite direction, we can recreate a URI reference from
its components by using the algorithm of Section 5.3.

Here's a method to get the REAL name of a domain. This return just the domain name, not the rest. First check if is not an IP, then return the name:
<?php
function esip($ip_addr)
{
//first of all the format of the ip address is matched
if(preg_match("/^(\d{1,3})\.(\d{1,3})\.(\d{1,3})\.(\d{1,3})$/",$ip_addr))
{
//now all the intger values are separated
$parts=explode(".",$ip_addr);
//now we need to check each part can range from 0-255
foreach($parts as $ip_parts)
{
if(intval($ip_parts)>255 || intval($ip_parts)<0)
return FALSE; //if number is not within range of 0-255
}
return TRUE;
}
else
return FALSE; //if format of ip address doesn't matches
}
function domain($domainb)
{
$bits = explode('/', $domainb);
if ($bits[0]=='http:' || $bits[0]=='https:')
{
$domainb= $bits[2];
} else {
$domainb= $bits[0];
}
unset($bits);
$bits = explode('.', $domainb);
$idz=count($bits);
$idz-=3;
if (strlen($bits[($idz+2)])==2) {
$url=$bits[$idz].'.'.$bits[($idz+1)].'.'.$bits[($idz+2)];
} else if (strlen($bits[($idz+2)])==0) {
$url=$bits[($idz)].'.'.$bits[($idz+1)];
} else {
$url=$bits[($idz+1)].'.'.$bits[($idz+2)];
}
return $url;
}
$address='clients1.sub3.google.co.uk';
$parsed_url = parse_url($address);
$check = esip($parsed_url['host']);
$host = $parsed_url['host'];
if ($check == FALSE){
if ($host != ""){
$host = domain($host);
}else{
$host = domain($address);
}
}
echo $host;
?>
This return: google.co.uk
'http://sub1.sub2.sub3.example.com:443';
return: example.com
'example.com';
return: example.com
Many times parse_url return nothing when domain is google.com only for example.
Now, google.com, or google.co.uk will return the same.
Maybe is a little dirty, but works well for me, i use it to group internet access log from squid.
Regards.

To get the params (url query) as Associative array, use this function:
<?php
/**
* Returns the url query as associative array
*
* @param string query
* @return array params
*/
function convertUrlQuery($query) {
$queryParts = explode('&', $query);
$params = array();
foreach ($queryParts as $param) {
$item = explode('=', $param);
$params[$item[0]] = $item[1];
}
return $params;
}
?>
Egor Chernodarov (2011-04-06 01:34:52)
Noticed the following differences in error handling:
<?php
print_r(parse_url('ftp://user:password@host:port'));
?>
In PHP 5.2.6 returns:
Array
(
[scheme] => ftp
[host] => host
[user] => user
[pass] => password
)
port is just skipped.
But in PHP 5.3.6 returns NULL without any warnings.

Hi,
if you have problems with UTF8 encoded urls please see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52923 . parse_url breaks the utf8. :( You have to implement it yourself.
Mark Dobrinic (2010-12-10 02:55:44)
It seems the host-part strips off the last [:port] off the end of the hostname
When something is wrong in the actual request, this proves to be the wrong way to do things.
It would be better to not strip off the [:port], but to keep the string *before* the first [:port] as the hostname.
Problem with (maybe malformed) provided HTTP_HOST
hostname:443:443
that resolved in
'host' => 'hostname:443'
Which gave me problems.
Solution would be to enforce this yourself, explicitly:
<?php
$p = parse_url( $url );
$host = explode(':', $p['host']);
$hostname = $host[0];
?>

@ solenoid: Your code was very helpful, but it fails when the current URL has no query string (it appends '&' instead of '?' before the query). Below is a fixed version that catches this edge case and corrects it.
<?php
function modify_url($mod)
{
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$query = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if (!$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) {$queryStart = "?";} else {$queryStart = "&";}
// modify/delete data
foreach($query as $q)
{
list($key, $value) = explode("=", $q);
if(array_key_exists($key, $mod))
{
if($mod[$key])
{
$url = preg_replace('/'.$key.'='.$value.'/', $key.'='.$mod[$key], $url);
}
else
{
$url = preg_replace('/&?'.$key.'='.$value.'/', '', $url);
}
}
}
// add new data
foreach($mod as $key => $value)
{
if($value && !preg_match('/'.$key.'=/', $url))
{
$url .= $queryStart.$key.'='.$value;
}
}
return $url;
}
?>
martin at planio dot com (2010-09-17 07:02:51)
For those of you sending URLs in HTML emails with a redirect address in the query string, note that Hotmail unescapes / and : characters in the query string. So that breaks the parse_url() function call. Take this as an example:
href="http://example.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fplanio.com"
Hotmail will transform it to this:
href="http://example.com/redirect?url=http://planio.com"
The solution is to be preventive before the call to parse_url():
<?php
$q_index = strpos($uri, '?');
if ($q_index !== FALSE &&
(strpos($uri, ':', $q_index) !== FALSE || strpos($uri, '/', $q_index) !== FALSE)) {
$begin = substr($uri, 0, $q_index);
$end = substr($uri, $q_index, strlen($uri)-$q_index);
$end = str_replace('/', '%2F', $end);
$end = str_replace(':', '%3A', $end);
$uri = $begin.$end;
}
?>

If you want to get host, function will return NULL if you pass only host.
Example:
<?php
parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);
?>
$url => value returned
http://example.com => string 'example.com' (length=11)
http://www.example.com =>string 'www.example.com' (length=15)
http://www.example.com:8080 => string 'www.example.com' (length=15)
example.com => null
www.example.com => null
example.com:8080 => string 'example.com' (length=11)
www.example.com:8080 => string 'www.example.com' (length=15)
solenoid at example dot com (2010-04-22 16:05:14)
Here's a piece of code that modifies, replaces or removes the url query. This can typically used in paging situations where there are more parameters than the page.
<?php
function modify_url($mod)
{
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$query = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
// modify/delete data
foreach($query as $q)
{
list($key, $value) = explode("=", $q);
if(array_key_exists($key, $mod))
{
if($mod[$key])
{
$url = preg_replace('/'.$key.'='.$value.'/', $key.'='.$mod[$key], $url);
}
else
{
$url = preg_replace('/&?'.$key.'='.$value.'/', '', $url);
}
}
}
// add new data
foreach($mod as $key => $value)
{
if($value && !preg_match('/'.$key.'=/', $url))
{
$url .= '&'.$key.'='.$value;
}
}
return $url;
}
// page url: "http://www.example.com/page.php?p=5&show=list&style=23"
$url = modify_url(array('p' => 4, 'show' => 'column'));
// $url = "http://www.example.com/page.php?p=4&show=column&style=23"

I was writing unit tests and needed to cause this function to kick out an error and return FALSE in order to test a specific execution path. If anyone else needs to force a failure, the following inputs will work:
<?php
parse_url("http:///example.com");
parse_url("http://:80");
parse_url("http://user@:80");
?>

Thanks to xellisx for his parse_query function. I used it in one of my projects and it works well. But it has an error. I fixed the error and improved it a little bit. Here is my version of it:
<?php
// Originally written by xellisx
function parse_query($var)
{
/**
* Use this function to parse out the query array element from
* the output of parse_url().
*/
$var = parse_url($var, PHP_URL_QUERY);
$var = html_entity_decode($var);
$var = explode('&', $var);
$arr = array();
foreach($var as $val)
{
$x = explode('=', $val);
$arr[$x[0]] = $x[1];
}
unset($val, $x, $var);
return $arr;
}
?>
At the first line there was parse_query($val), I made it $var. It used to return a null array before this fix.
I have added the parse_url line. So now the function will only focus in the query part, not the whole URL. This is useful if something like below is done:
<?php
$my_GET = parse_query($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
?>
nirazuelos at gmail dot com (2009-10-09 14:45:45)
Hello, for some odd reason, parse_url returns the host (ex. example.com) as the path when no scheme is provided in the input url. So I've written a quick function to get the real host:
<?php
function getHost($Address) {
$parseUrl = parse_url(trim($Address));
return trim($parseUrl[host] ? $parseUrl[host] : array_shift(explode('/', $parseUrl[path], 2)));
}
getHost("example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("http://example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("www.example.com"); // Gives www.example.com
getHost("http://example.com/xyz"); // Gives example.com
?>
You could try anything! It gives the host (including the subdomain if exists).
Hope it helped you.

careful while use parse_str() function with full url.
see:
<?php
$sLink = "http://localhost/khm/search.php?act=result&q=a";
parse_str($sLink, $vars);
print_r($vars);
echo $sLink = rawurldecode(http_build_query($vars));
// will output:
// Array
// (
// [http://localhost/khm/search_php?act] => result

// http://localhost/khm/search_php?act=result&q=a
// search.php become search_php

When using the url
/* line too long for this site's comment handler */
"foo://username:password@[2001:4860:0:2001::68]:8042".
"/over/there/index.dtb;type=animal?name=ferret#nose"
The original would return
Array
(
[scheme] => foo
[userinfo] => username:password
[authority] => username:password@
[host] =>
[port] =>
[path] =>
[query] =>
[fragment] =>
)
The new one returns
Array
(
[scheme] => foo
[userinfo] => username:password
[authority] => username:password@[2001:4860:0:2001::68]:8042
[host] => [2001:4860:0:2001::68]
[port] => 8042
[path] => /over/there/index.dtb;type=animal
[query] => name=ferret
[fragment] => nose
)
All of the other examples FredLudd used below still work exactly the same.

Additional information:
if you like to compute a registered domain name of the parsed host name you can use the PHP library at http://www.dkim-reputation.org/regdom-libs/
It relies on the effective TLD list of the Mozilla Foundation.

Modification to the code from:
theoriginalmarksimpson at gmail dot com
Change:
$r .= "(?:(?P<login>\w+):(?P<pass>\w+)@)?";
Replace with:
$r .= "(?:(?P<login>\w+):?(?P<pass>\w+)?@)?";
This will cover the case the only username is present in the url:
http://username@subdomain.domain.com/index.php?arg1=test#anchor

Some example that determines the URL port.
When port not specified, it derives it from the scheme.
<?php
function getUrlPort( $urlInfo )
{
if( isset($urlInfo['port']) ) {
$port = $urlInfo['port'];
} else { // no port specified; get default port
if (isset($urlInfo['scheme']) ) {
switch( $urlInfo['scheme'] ) {
case 'http':
$port = 80; // default for http
break;
case 'https':
$port = 443; // default for https
break;
case 'ftp':
$port = 21; // default for ftp
break;
case 'ftps':
$port = 990; // default for ftps
break;
default:
$port = 0; // error; unsupported scheme
break;
}
} else {
$port = 0; // error; unknown scheme
}
}
return $port;
}
$url = "http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php";
$urlInfo = parse_url( $url );
$urlPort = getUrlPort( $urlInfo );
if( $urlPort !== 0 ) {
print 'Found URL port: '.$urlPort;
} else {
print 'ERROR: Could not find port at URL: '.$url;
}

What about using something like this to safely encoding all the values that are passed in the query portion?
Example input:
http://www.example.com/?first=john&last=smith&email=john@smith.com
Result:
http://www.example.com/?first=john&last=smith&email=john%40smith.com
<?php

// Make sure we have a string to work with

// Make sure we have a valid result set and a query field
if(is_array($urllist) && isset($urllist["query"])) {
// Explode into key/value array
$keyvalue_list=explode("&",($urllist["query"]));
// Store resulting key/value pairs
$keyvalue_result=array();
foreach($keyvalue_list as $key=>$value) {
// Explode each individual key/value into an array
$keyvalue=explode("=",$value);
// Make sure we have a "key=value" array
if(count($keyvalue)==2) {
// Encode the value portion
$keyvalue[1]=urlencode($keyvalue[1]);
// Add our key and encoded value into the result
array_push($keyvalue_result,implode("=",$keyvalue));
}
}
// Repopulate our query key with encoded results
$urllist["query"]=implode("&",$keyvalue_result);
// Build the the final output URL

FredLudd at gmail dot com (2008-10-03 11:24:42)
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("`$r`i", $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 $parts;
}
This function, when fed "http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php", returns
scheme => http
userinfo =>
authority => ca3.php.net
host => ca3.php.net
port =>
path => /manual/en/function.parse-url.php
query =>
fragment =>
which is somewhat closer to my needs.
But everything should be tested against the two examples provided by RFC3986,
/* line too long for this site's commnet handler */
"foo://username:password@example.com:8042".
"/over/there/index.dtb;type=animal?name=ferret#nose"
and
"urn:example:animal:ferret:nose"
Here the native function parse_url() performs admirably on that "urn:" example. Mine fails to pick out the path ("example:animal:ferret:nose") and the laulibrius/theoriginalmarksimpson function can't decipher anything there. On the "foo:" example, both my function and parse_url() get it right, while the other examples on this page don't.
The laulibrius/theoriginalmarksimpson function delivers
scheme => foo
login => username
pass => password
host => example.com
ip =>
subdomain =>
domain => example.
extension => com
port => 8042
path => /over/there/index.dtb
file => index.dtb
As you can see, the query string ("name=ferret") and fragment ("nose") have dropped off, as well as the parameter ("type=animal").
xellisx (2008-10-01 08:37:42)
I need to parse out the query string from the referrer, so I created this function.
<?php
function parse_query($val)
{
/**
* Use this function to parse out the query array element from

*/
$var = html_entity_decode($var);
$var = explode('&', $var);
$arr = array();
foreach($var as $val)
{
$x = explode('=', $val);
$arr[$x[0]] = $x[1];
}
unset($val, $x, $var);
return $arr;
}
?>

Here is an update to the glue_url() function.
It can now handle relative URLs if only 'path' is provided.
<?php
function glue_url($parsed) {
if (!is_array($parsed)) {
return false;
}
$uri = isset($parsed['scheme']) ? $parsed['scheme'].':'.((strtolower($parsed['scheme']) == 'mailto') ? '' : '//') : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['user']) ? $parsed['user'].(isset($parsed['pass']) ? ':'.$parsed['pass'] : '').'@' : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['host']) ? $parsed['host'] : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['port']) ? ':'.$parsed['port'] : '';
if (isset($parsed['path'])) {
$uri .= (substr($parsed['path'], 0, 1) == '/') ?
$parsed['path'] : ((!empty($uri) ? '/' : '' ) . $parsed['path']);
}
$uri .= isset($parsed['query']) ? '?'.$parsed['query'] : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['fragment']) ? '#'.$parsed['fragment'] : '';
return $uri;
}
?>

URL's in the query string of a relative URL will cause a problem

theoriginalmarksimpson at gmail dot com (2008-09-05 00:12:11)
A rehash of code modified by "laulibrius at hotmail dot com".
This also parses urls for hosts that don't have a domain name and just use an IP as the hostname.
The old code would assume that the IP octets were a subdomain.
So the url "http://255.255.255.255/" would return 255.255 as a subdomain of 255.255.
<?php
parseUrl($url)
{
$r = "^(?:(?P<scheme>\w+)://)?";
$r .= "(?:(?P<login>\w+):(?P<pass>\w+)@)?";
$ip="(?:[0-9]{1,3}+\.){3}+[0-9]{1,3}";//ip check
$s="(?P<subdomain>[-\w\.]+)\.)?";//subdomain
$d="(?P<domain>[-\w]+\.)";//domain
$e="(?P<extension>\w+)";//extension
$r.="(?P<host>(?(?=".$ip.")(?P<ip>".$ip.")|(?:".$s.$d.$e."))";
$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);
}
?>
If you need to validate the host IP this is easier than using regex.
<?php
$parsed=parseUrl($url);
if($parsed['ip']) {
if(long2ip(ip2long($parsed['ip']))==$parsed['ip']){//validates IP
echo $parsed['ip']." is a valid host";
}
else {
echo $parsed['ip']." is not a valid host";
}
}
?>
marco panichi (2008-08-23 01:47:18)
my function catch the url written on the browser by the user and does the same thing of parse_url. but better, I think. I don't like parse_url because it says nothing about elements that it doesn't find in the url. my function instead return an empty string.
<?php
function get_url()
{
$arr = array();
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// query
$x = array_pad( explode( '?', $uri ), 2, false );
$arr['query'] = ( $x[1] )? $x[1] : '' ;
// resource
$x = array_pad( explode( '/', $x[0] ), 2, false );
$x_last = array_pop( $x );
if( strpos( $x_last, '.' ) === false )
{
$arr['resource'] = '';
$x[] = $x_last;
}
else
{
$arr['resource'] = $x_last;
}
// path
$arr['path'] = implode( '/', $x );
if( substr( $arr['path'], -1 ) !== '/' ) $arr['path'] .= '/';
// domain
$arr['domain'] = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
// scheme
$server_prt = explode( '/', $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] );
$arr['scheme'] = strtolower( $server_prt[0] );
// url
$arr['url'] = $arr['scheme'].'://'.$arr['domain'].$uri;
return $arr;
}
?>
PS: I found working with explode is faster than using preg_match (I tryed with getmicrotime function and 'for' cycles).
PPS: I used array_pad to prevent any notice.

Here's the easiest way to get the URL to the path that your script is in (so not the actual script name itself, just the complete URL to the folder it's in)
echo "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
Cool Coyote (2008-06-23 05:35:22)
based on the "laulibrius at hotmail dot com" function, this work for relatives url only:
<?php
function parseUrl($url) {
$r = "^(?:(?P<path>[\.\w/]*/)?";
$r .= "(?P<file>\w+(?:\.\w+)?)?)\.(?P<extension>\w+)?";
$r .= "(?:\?(?P<arg>[\w=&]+))?";
$r .= "(?:#(?P<anchor>\w+))?";
$r = "!$r!";
preg_match ( $r, $url, $out );
return $out;
}
print_r(parseUrl("../test/f.aq.php?p=1&v=blabla#X1"));
?>
returns:
Array
(
[0] => ../test/faq.php?p=1&v=blabla#X1
[path] => ../test/
[1] => ../test/
[file] => faq
[2] => faq
[extension] => php
[3] => php
[arg] => p=1&v=blabla
[4] => p=1&v=blabla
[anchor] => X1
[5] => X1
)
laulibrius at hotmail dot com (2008-06-16 09:31:48)
There was one thing missing in the function dropped by "to1ne at hotmail dot com" when i tried it : domain and subdomain couldn't have a dash "-". So i add it in the regexp and the function looks like this now :
<?php
function parseUrl($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 $out;
}
?>
Btw, thanks for the function, it helps me a lot.
to1ne at hotmail dot com (2008-06-13 11:01:45)
Based on the idea of "jbr at ya-right dot com" have I been working on a new function to parse the url:
<?php
function parseUrl($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...
jbr at ya-right dot com (2008-05-02 20:24:27)
This function never works the way you think it should...
Example....
<?php
print_r ( parse_url ( 'me:you@sub.site.org/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url' ) );
?>
Returns...
Array
(
[scheme] => me
[path] => you@sub.site.org/pear/validate.html
[query] => happy=me&sad=you
[fragment] => url
)
Here my way of doing parse_url
<?php
function parseUrl ( $url )
{
$r = '!(?:(\w+)://)?(?:(\w+)\:(\w+)@)?([^/:]+)?';
$r .= '(?:\:(\d*))?([^#?]+)?(?:\?([^#]+))?(?:#(.+$))?!i';
preg_match ( $r, $url, $out );
return $out;
}
print_r ( parseUrl ( 'me:you@sub.site.org/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url' ) );
?>
Returns...
Array
(
[0] => me:you@sub.site.org/pear/validate.html?happy=me&sad=you#url
[1] =>
[2] => me
[3] => you
[4] => sub.site.org
[5] =>
[6] => /pear/validate.html
[7] => happy=me&sad=you
[8] => url
)
Where as...
out[0] = full url
out[1] = scheme or '' if no scheme was found
out[2] = username or '' if no auth username was found
out[3] = password or '' if no auth password was found
out[4] = domain name or '' if no domain name was found
out[5] = port number or '' if no port number was found
out[6] = path or '' if no path was found
out[7] = query or '' if no query was found
out[8] = fragment or '' if no fragment was found
Nicolas Merlet - admin(at)merletn.org (2008-03-14 07:05:24)
Please note that parse_url seems not to produce always the same results when passing non-standard urls.
Eg. I was using this code since 2005 (both under PHP 4.3.10 and PHP 5.2.3) :
<?php
$p = parse_url ( 'http://domain.tld/tcp://domain2.tld/dir/file' ) ;
$d2 = parse_url ( $p['path'] ) ;
echo $d2 ; // returns '/dir/file'
?>
Of course my example is very specific, as URL is not really correct. But using parse_url was a great trick to split URL easily (without using regular expressions).
Unfortunately under PHP 5.2.0-8 (+etch10), parse_url will fail as it does not accept the slash (/) at the beginning of URL.
Here is a possible patch :
<?php
$p = parse_url ( 'http://domain.tld/tcp://domain2.tld/dir/file' ) ;
$d2 = parse_url ( substr ( $p['path'] , 1 ) ) ;
echo $d2 ; // returns '/dir/file'
?>
However this last code is not optimized at all, and should be replaced by a regular expression to split URL (so that parse_url would be no longer used).
So you should use parse_url very carefully, and verify that you pass only standard URLs...
Nick Smith (2007-09-05 02:32:28)
Note that older versions of PHP (e.g., 4.1) returned an blank string as the path for URLs without any path, such as http://www.php.net
However more recent versions of PHP (e.g., 4.4.7) don't set the path element in the array, so old code will get a PHP warning about an undefined index.
Michael Muryn (2007-08-27 08:51:08)
Another update to the glue_url function: applied the "isset" treatment to $parsed['pass'].
<?php
function glue_url($parsed)
{
if (!is_array($parsed)) return false;
$uri = isset($parsed['scheme']) ? $parsed['scheme'].':'.((strtolower($parsed['scheme']) == 'mailto') ? '' : '//') : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['user']) ? $parsed['user'].(isset($parsed['pass']) ? ':'.$parsed['pass'] : '').'@' : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['host']) ? $parsed['host'] : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['port']) ? ':'.$parsed['port'] : '';
if(isset($parsed['path']))
{
$uri .= (substr($parsed['path'], 0, 1) == '/') ? $parsed['path'] : ('/'.$parsed['path']);
}
$uri .= isset($parsed['query']) ? '?'.$parsed['query'] : '';
$uri .= isset($parsed['fragment']) ? '#'.$parsed['fragment'] : '';
return $uri;
}
?>

In reply to adrian,
Thank you very much for your function. There is a small issue with your relative protocol function. You need to remove the // when making the url the path. Here is the new function.
function resolve_url($base, $url) {
if (!strlen($base)) return $url;
// Step 2
if (!strlen($url)) return $base;
// Step 3
if (preg_match('!^[a-z]+:!i', $url)) return $url;
$base = parse_url($base);
if ($url{0} == "#") {
// Step 2 (fragment)
$base['fragment'] = substr($url, 1);
return unparse_url($base);
}
unset($base['fragment']);
unset($base['query']);
if (substr($url, 0, 2) == "//") {
// Step 4
return unparse_url(array(
'scheme'=>$base['scheme'],

I searched for an implementation of rfc3986, which is a newer version of rfc 2392. I may find it here : <http://www.chrsen.dk/fundanemt/files/scripter/php/misc/rfc3986.php> - read the rfc at <http://rfc.net/rfc3986.html>

Here's a function which implements resolving a relative URL according to RFC 2396 section 5.2. No doubt there are more efficient implementations, but this one tries to remain close to the standard for clarity. It relies on a function called "unparse_url" to implement section 7, left as an exercise for the reader (or you can substitute the "glue_url" function posted earlier).
<?php
/**
* Resolve a URL relative to a base path. This happens to work with POSIX
* filenames as well. This is based on RFC 2396 section 5.2.
*/
function resolve_url($base, $url) {
if (!strlen($base)) return $url;
// Step 2
if (!strlen($url)) return $base;
// Step 3
if (preg_match('!^[a-z]+:!i', $url)) return $url;
$base = parse_url($base);
if ($url{0} == "#") {
// Step 2 (fragment)
$base['fragment'] = substr($url, 1);
return unparse_url($base);
}
unset($base['fragment']);
unset($base['query']);
if (substr($url, 0, 2) == "//") {
// Step 4
return unparse_url(array(
'scheme'=>$base['scheme'],
'path'=>$url,
));
} else if ($url{0} == "/") {
// Step 5
$base['path'] = $url;
} else {
// Step 6
$path = explode('/', $base['path']);
$url_path = explode('/', $url);
// Step 6a: drop file from base
array_pop($path);
// Step 6b, 6c, 6e: append url while removing "." and ".." from
// the directory portion
$end = array_pop($url_path);
foreach ($url_path as $segment) {
if ($segment == '.') {
// skip
} else if ($segment == '..' && $path && $path[sizeof($path)-1] != '..') {
array_pop($path);
} else {
$path[] = $segment;
}
}
// Step 6d, 6f: remove "." and ".." from file portion
if ($end == '.') {
$path[] = '';
} else if ($end == '..' && $path && $path[sizeof($path)-1] != '..') {
$path[sizeof($path)-1] = '';
} else {
$path[] = $end;
}
// Step 6h
$base['path'] = join('/', $path);
}
// Step 7
return unparse_url($base);
}

Actually the behaviour noticed by the previous poster is quite correct. When the URI scheme is not present, it is plain wrong to assume that something starting with www. is a domain name, and that the scheme is HTTP. Internet Explorer does it that way, sure, but it does not make it any more correct. The documentation says that the function tries to decode the URL as well as it can, and the only sensible and standards-compliant way to decode such URL is to expect it to be a relative URI.
Elliott Brueggeman (2007-06-03 15:59:52)
Note that if you pass this function a url without a scheme (www.php.net, as opposed to http://www.php.net), the function will incorrectly parse the results. In my test case it returned the domain under the ['path'] element and nothing in the ['host'] element.

Do not look for the fragment in $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], you will not find it. You should read the fragment in JavaScript for example.

Heres a simple function to add the $component option in for PHP4. Haven't done exhaustive testing, but should work ok.
<?php
## Defines only available in PHP 5, created for PHP4
if(!defined('PHP_URL_SCHEME')) define('PHP_URL_SCHEME', 1);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_HOST')) define('PHP_URL_HOST', 2);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_PORT')) define('PHP_URL_PORT', 3);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_USER')) define('PHP_URL_USER', 4);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_PASS')) define('PHP_URL_PASS', 5);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_PATH')) define('PHP_URL_PATH', 6);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_QUERY')) define('PHP_URL_QUERY', 7);
if(!defined('PHP_URL_FRAGMENT')) define('PHP_URL_FRAGMENT', 8);
function parse_url_compat($url, $component=NULL){
if(!$component) return parse_url($url);
## PHP 5
if(phpversion() >= 5)
return parse_url($url, $component);
## PHP 4
$bits = parse_url($url);
switch($component){
case PHP_URL_SCHEME: return $bits['scheme'];
case PHP_URL_HOST: return $bits['host'];
case PHP_URL_PORT: return $bits['port'];
case PHP_URL_USER: return $bits['user'];
case PHP_URL_PASS: return $bits['pass'];
case PHP_URL_PATH: return $bits['path'];
case PHP_URL_QUERY: return $bits['query'];
case PHP_URL_FRAGMENT: return $bits['fragment'];
}
}
?>

You may want to check out the PEAR NET_URL class. It provides easy means to manipulate URL strings.
