asked on
parse_url when url is a paramater?
Parse_url produces the wrong result the one of the parameters is itself a url:
For example,
parse_str($theurl['query'] ,$params);
will lose all of the params after the url parameter, because the "&"
delimiting the parameters is not recognized.
How can I fix this? I need all the parameters from a URL REST query, when
one of the parameter values is itself a URL.
For example,
parse_str($theurl['query']

<?php // RAY_temp_pillmill.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$url = 'http://www.hainkurt.com?a=1&b=2';
$enc = urlencode($url);
$new = urldecode($enc);
echo "<pre>";
echo PHP_EOL . htmlentities($url);
echo PHP_EOL . htmlentities($enc);
echo PHP_EOL . htmlentities($new);
well you have to explode the parse string with & and before doing that you decode the parse string...
example code :
example code :
$theurl = "http://www.example.com?h=test&o=ok&urll=http://www.example.org&helo=bye&working=fine";
$param_arr = explode('&',$theurl);
print_r($param_arr);
No points for this, please -- the question has already been answered. The PHP URL functions are documented here:
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.url.php
These are the PHP functions that make it easy to get this right.

I concur with Ray_Paseur that HainKurt's answer is the one to use. If the variable "query" were a URL such as "http://www.example.com?x=y&z=3", it would have to be passed through urlencode() in order to keep the values for $_GET['x'] and $_GET['z']; without that, it is simply not possible to be 100% sure that all the attached variables (except maybe the first) remain attached to it.
@kshna: please be respectful of other experts. There is no reason that the user asking the question should have to deal with such childish outbursts. Your fix does not actually fix the problem, but merely illustrates the problem: Ray_Paseur was saying "no points" for the post it was stated in, indicating that HainKurt's answer was the one that should be awarded points.

URL's in the query string of a relative URL will cause a problem
fails:
/page.php?foo=bar&url=http://www.example.com
parses:
http://www.foo.com/page.php?foo=bar&url=http://www.example.com
