PHP URI

A PHP library for working with URI's, that is designed around the URI standard. Requires PHP 5.4 or later. This library replaces and extends all of PHP's parse_url() features, and even has some handy aliases.

Installing The Library

Composer:

Add this to your composer.json file

"require": {
	"projectcleverweb/php-uri":"~1.0"
}

Manual:

Download:

Just include the uri.lib.php file somewhere in your application.

Examples

Example #1: String Operations

$uri = new uri('http://example.com/path/to/file.ext');

$uri->replace('QUERY', 'number=3');
$uri->replace('PATH', '/foo/bar');
$uri->append('PATH', '.baz');
$new = $uri->prepend('HOST', 'www.');

$uri->reset();
$original = $uri->str();

$uri->replace('FRAGMENT', 'Checkout');
$secure = $uri->replace('SCHEME_NAME', 'https');

echo $new.PHP_EOL;
echo $original.PHP_EOL;
echo $secure;

Output:

http://www.example.com/foo/bar.baz?number=3
http://example.com/path/to/file.ext
https://example.com/path/to/file.ext#Checkout

Example #2: Daisy Chaining Operations

Need to change a lot while keeping anything extra intact? Chain it.

$uri1 = new uri('ftp://jdoe:[email protected]/public_html');

// Lets upgrade to an admin account under sftp, but stay in the current directory.
$uri1->chain()->
	prepend('SCHEME_NAME', 's')->
	replace('PORT', '22')->
	replace('USER', 'admin')->
	replace('PASS', 'secure-pass-123');

// NOTE: chain() methods always return the chain object, even if a method fails.
echo $uri1;

// Any failure results in the chain() error count geting incremented.
if (0 < $uri->chain()->error_count) {
	print_f('The chain failed %1$s times!', $uri->chain()->error_count);
}

Output:

sftp://admin:[email protected]:22/public_html

Example #3: Information Gathering

$uri = new uri('http://example.com/path/to/file.ext?q=1');

if ($uri->scheme_name == 'https') {
	echo 'Uses SSL'.PHP_EOL;
} else {
	echo 'Does not use SSL'.PHP_EOL;
}

// Change to an absolute path
$abs_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$uri->path;
echo $abs_path.PHP_EOL;

// easier to read links
printf('<a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', $uri->str(), $uri->host.$uri->path);

// FTP logins
$uri = new uri('ftp://[email protected]/my/home/dir');
$login = array(
	'username' => $uri->user,
	'password' => $user_input,
	'domain'   => $uri->host,
	'path'     => $uri->path
);

Output:

Does not use SSL
/var/www/path/to/file.ext
<a href="http://example.com/path/to/file.ext?q=1">example.com/path/to/file.ext</a>

Example #4: Works With A Wide Range Of URIs

Works perfectly with email, skype, and ssh URIs. The parser is based directly off the URI standard, so it will work well with uncommon and new URI types.

$uri1 = new uri('[email protected]:ProjectCleverWeb/PHP-URI.git');
$uri2 = new uri('[email protected]');

// Publish you source to multiple services?
echo $uri1.PHP_EOL; // PHP will automatically get the current URI
echo $uri1->replace('HOST', 'gitlab.com').PHP_EOL;
echo $uri1->replace('HOST', 'bitbucket.org').PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL;

// Quick and easy email template URI
$uri2->chain()
	->replace('SCHEME', 'mailto:')
	->query_replace('subject', 'Re: [Suggestion Box]')
	->query_replace('body', 'More snickers in the break room please!')
;
printf('<a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', $uri2, $uri2->authority);

Output:

[email protected]:ProjectCleverWeb/PHP-URI.git
[email protected]:ProjectCleverWeb/PHP-URI.git
[email protected]:ProjectCleverWeb/PHP-URI.git

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20%5BSuggestion%20Box%5D&body=More%20snickers%20in%20the%20break%20room%20please%21">[email protected]</a>

Known Issues

• Cloning doesn't work as expected (use $clone = new \uri($original->str()); $clone->input = $original->input; instead)
• You cannot directly change the authority of a URI. This is intentional, as the authority is generated from the current URI.
