How about complete rewrite with OOP? It could be implemented using Objects like DateTime does. I've got working implementation in userland https://github.com/madkom/uri it maybe not be finished yet but supports parsing URI with IPv4, IPv6 and Hostnames. It was also going to parse query arguments from URI depending on how to parse multiple arguments: * some languages parses `?arg1=1&arg1=2` as an array, PHP parses only last, * `?arg1[]=1&arg1=3` some parses adding element 3 to "arg1" array some replaces)
This implementation also supports UriTemplates (" http://localhost/{module}/action") and UriReferences ("/some/reference?arg1=2#fragment"). 2016-10-07 8:38 GMT+02:00 Marco Pivetta <ocram...@gmail.com>: > On Fri, Oct 7, 2016 at 8:32 AM, David Walker <d...@mudsite.com> wrote: > > > On Thu, Oct 6, 2016 at 10:13 PM Stephen Reay <php-li...@koalephant.com> > > wrote: > > > > > Could the new URL parser be exposed via a third parameter to parse_url, > > > which defaults to false/off in 7.2 (or whenever its added) but then > > > defaults to true in 8.0? > > > > > > I, personally, would be opposed to this.
