PHP URL library

Translations: Español

PHP library to access URL information.

Provides an improved replacement for the access to the components of a URL offered by PHP's parse_url and pathinfo functions.

This library does not format the provided URL, it only makes it easier to access the components. For something more advanced you can use something like league/uri-components.
