Description

A wrapper for PHP's parse_url() function that handles consistency in the return values across PHP versions.PHP 5.4.7 expanded parse_url()'s ability to handle non-absolute URLs, including schemeless and relative URLs with "://" in the path. This function works around those limitations providing a standard output on PHP 5.2~5.4+. Secondly, across various PHP versions, schemeless URLs containing a ":" in the query are being handled inconsistently. This function works around those differences as well.
