php - add/update a parameter in a url [duplicate]

Answer 1

Why not to use standard PHP functions for working with URLs?

function addURLParameter ($url, $paramName, $paramValue) {
     $url_data = parse_url($url);
     $params = array();
     parse_str($url_data['query'], $params);
     $params[$paramName] = $paramValue;   
     $params_str = http_build_query($params);
     return http_build_url($url, array('query' => $params_str));
}

Sorry didn't notice that http_build_url is PECL :-) Let's roll our own build_url function then.

function addURLParameter($url, $paramName, $paramValue) {
     $url_data = parse_url($url);
     if(!isset($url_data["query"]))
         $url_data["query"]="";

     $params = array();
     parse_str($url_data['query'], $params);
     $params[$paramName] = $paramValue;   
     $url_data['query'] = http_build_query($params);
     return build_url($url_data);
}


 function build_url($url_data) {
     $url="";
     if(isset($url_data['host']))
     {
         $url .= $url_data['scheme'] . '://';
         if (isset($url_data['user'])) {
             $url .= $url_data['user'];
                 if (isset($url_data['pass'])) {
                     $url .= ':' . $url_data['pass'];
                 }
             $url .= '@';
         }
         $url .= $url_data['host'];
         if (isset($url_data['port'])) {
             $url .= ':' . $url_data['port'];
         }
     }
     $url .= $url_data['path'];
     if (isset($url_data['query'])) {
         $url .= '?' . $url_data['query'];
     }
     if (isset($url_data['fragment'])) {
         $url .= '#' . $url_data['fragment'];
     }
     return $url;
 }
