php-urljoin
A PHP library function for joining a base URL and a potentially-relative target URL into an absolute URL
Why isn't this in the PHP standard library? WHO KNOWS.
Installation:
- Direct install: just pull
src/urljoin.php
into your project - Composer:
composer require busybee/urljoin
usage:
urljoin($base_url, $other_url);
See tests.php for test suite, as well as expected inputs and outputs. (Doing
this correctly is way more complicated thing than you'd think!) This
implementation strives for accuracy and, in cases of ambiguity (such as ../
stack underflow and empty path components), defers to Python's standard library
behavior (as implemented by urlparse.urljoin
).
Other things that you might know this as:
- Relative path concatenation
- A function for converting a relative path to an absolute URL given a base URL

andrelativeToAbsolute
