How to Parse/Divide URL in PHP?

parse_url is a simple tool/predefined function to parse/divide URL into individual components.

components are:

1. scheme
2. host
3. path
4. query

example:

<?php

//URL
$url = "http://www.phpjavascript.com/post.php?par1=one&par2=two";

$url = parse_url($url);

//print_r($url);

echo 'scheme = '.$url['scheme'];
echo 'host = '.$url['host'];
echo 'path = '.$url['path'];
echo 'query = '.$url['query'];

?>

Result:

scheme = http
host = www.phpjavascript.com
path = /post.php
query = par1=one&par2=two
