README
PHP class for handling and manipulating URLs. It's a pragmatic one-class lib that is completely framework independent.
-
Parse URL strings to objects
-
add and modify query parameters
-
set and modify any part of the url
-
test for equality of URLs with query parameters in a PHP-fashioned way
-
supports protocol-relative urls
-
convert absolute, host-relative and protocol-relative urls to relative and vice versa
-
New in version 0.7 (2018/07/25): optional compatibility with
Psr\Http\Message\UriInterface
(PSR-7), see below
Installation
This package is listed on Packagist.
composer require wa72/url
Features and Usage
Parse a URL to an object
use \Wa72\Url\Url; $url = new Url('http://my-server.com/index.php?p1=foo&p2=bar'); // or alternatively use the static factory function `parse`: $url = Url::parse('http://my-server.com/index.php?p1=foo&p2=bar'); // set another host $url->setHost('another-server.org'); // return the URL as string again echo $url->write(); // or simply: echo $url;
Easily modify and add query parameters
$url->setQueryParameter('p1', 'newvalue'); $url->setQueryParameter('param3', 'another value'); echo $url; // will output: // http://another-server.org/index.php?p1=newvalue&p2=bar¶m3=another%20value // You can even add arrays a query parameter: $url->setQueryParameter('param3', array(5, 6)); echo $url; // will output: // http://another-server.org/index.php?p1=newvalue&p2=bar¶m3[]=5¶m3[]=6
Compare URLs with query strings the PHP way
While in general a URL may have multiple query parameters with the same name
(e.g. ?a=value1&a=value2&a=value3
) and there are web applications that convert
those parameters into an array, this is not the PHP way of dealing with query parameters:
In PHP, the last parameter with the same name always wins, so the
above query string is equal to only ?a=value3
.
Similarly, while in general the order of query parameters in the query string may
be significant to a web application, it is not in PHP: ?a=1&b=2
is equivalent
to ?b=2&a=1
for a PHP application.
Url
deals with query strings in URLs like PHP does, so the URLs in the following
example are to be considered equal:
$url1 = Url::parse('index.php?a=0&a=1&b=2'); $url2 = Url::parse('index.php?b=2&a=1'); return $url1.equals($url2); // will return TRUE
Make relative URL absolute
A given URL that has
- no scheme (protocol-relative URL)
- no scheme and no host (host-relative URL)
- no scheme, no host, and a relative path (relative URL)
can be turned into an absolute URL by a given base URL:
$url = Url::parse('page.php'); $baseurl = Url::parse('http://www.test.test/index.html'); $url->makeAbsolute($baseurl); echo $url; // will print: http://www.test.test/page.php $url = Url::parse('../de/seite.html'); $baseurl = Url::parse('http://www.test.test/en/page.html'); $url->makeAbsolute($baseurl); echo $url; // will print: http://www.test.test/de/seite.html $url = Url::parse('/index.html'); $baseurl = Url::parse('http://www.test.test/en/page.html'); $url->makeAbsolute($baseurl); echo $url; // will print: http://www.test.test/index.html $url = Url::parse('/index.html'); $baseurl = Url::parse('http://www.test.test/en/page.html'); $url->makeAbsolute($baseurl); echo $url; // will print: http://www.test.test/index.html $url = Url::parse('//www.test.test/index.html'); $baseurl = Url::parse('https://www.test.test/en/page.html'); $url->makeAbsolute($baseurl); echo $url; // will print: https://www.test.test/index.html
Output protocol-relative and host-relative URLs
If you want to omit the scheme, or scheme and host, when outputting the URL
you can pass Url::WRITE_FLAG_OMIT_SCHEME
and with Url::WRITE_FLAG_OMIT_HOST
to the write()
-method:
$url = Url::parse('https://www.test.test/index.php?id=5#c1'); // protocol-relative output echo $url->write(Url::WRITE_FLAG_OMIT_SCHEME); // will print: //www.test.test/index.php?id=5#c1 // host-relative output echo $url->write(Url::WRITE_FLAG_OMIT_SCHEME | Url::WRITE_FLAG_OMIT_HOST)); // will print: /index.php?id=5#c1
Compatibility with Psr\Http\Message\UriInterface
(PSR-7)
- class
Url
now has all methods defined in this interface but does not officially implement it. - new wrapper class
Psr7Uri
that implementsUriInterface
- methods for converting between
Url
andPsr7Uri
Class Url
does not implement the PSR Interface by itself for two reasons:
- To not introduce a new dependency on the PSR interface. The dependency is only "suggested" in composer json.
- Because the PSR interface is designed to be immutable,
while
Url
is not.
To use this feature, you need to composer require psr/http-message
.
<?php use Wa72\Url\Psr7Uri; use Wa72\Url\Url; # Get a Psr7Uri from a Url object $url = Url::parse('https://www.foo.bar/test.php?a=b'); $psr7uri = Psr7Uri::fromUrl($url); // or alternatively: $psr7uri = $url->toPsr7(); # Get a Url object from UriInterface $url = Url::fromPsr7($psr7uri); // this works for every UriInterface object, not only Wa72\Url\Psr7Uri // or alternatively: $url = $psr7uri->toUrl(); # You can also create a Psr7Uri directly $psr7uri = Psr7Uri::parse('https://www.foo.bar/test.php?a=b');
More documentation to come
Meanwhile, have a look at the source code, there are lots of comments in it.
