PHP's parse_url and parse_str ported to AutoIt3

[Jefrey 68]

I've ported these two functions from PHP to AU3 to work with URLs.

Made them for those who work with libraries like HTTP.au3 (not the one I coded), that needs passing the server domain, path, etc., instead of the full URL.

Grab the lib here.

ParseURL( $sURL )

Parses the URL and splits it into defined parts. Returns an array:

• [0] = Full URL (same as $sURL)
• [1] = Protocol (i.e.: http, https, ftp, ws...)
• [2] = Domain
• [3] = Port (or null if not specified)
• [4] = Path (or null if not specified)
• [5] = Query string (everything after the ? - or null if not specified)

Example:

$aExample = ParseURL("https://google.com:8080/?name=doe")

MsgBox(0, "Test", "URL: " & $aExample[0] & @CRLF & _
                    "Protocol: " & $aExample[1] & @CRLF & _
                    "Domain: " & $aExample[2] & @CRLF & _
                    "Port: " & $aExample[3] & @CRLF & _
                    "Path: " & $aExample[4] & @CRLF & _
                    "Query string: " & $aExample[5])

 

ParseStr( $sStr )

Parses a query string (similar to the [5] of the previous function) and returns a multidimensional array, where:

• [0][0] = number of variables found
• [0][1] = ununsed
• [1][0] = key name of the first variable
• [1][1] = first variable value (already URL decoded)
• [n][0] = key name of the nth variable
• [n][1] = nth variable value (already URL decoded)

Example:

include <Array.au3> ; need only to do _ArrayDisplay, not needed by the lib

_ArrayDisplay(ParseStr("foo=bar&test=lol%20123"))

#cs
Result is:
[0][0] = 2
[0][1] = ununsed
[1][0] = foo
[1][1] = bar
[2][0] = test
[2][1] = lol 123
#ce

Thanks for sharing. Seemingly works well ... thus far.

Once again, thanks Jefrey.

I have now used your script in a project, found here.
