Bug description: URL and PHP Info/Options functions NEEDED
parse_url() is a great function, but a counterpart to it would be even better.
Can we have a create_url() or create_query_string() function which would take an array
of items and build it using the local value of arg_separator ? A lot of users do NOT
use arg_separator because many programs are written with & as the separator (and there
is little documentation about it). Programmers should want to accomodate ALL users
though and support those which use ";" or "|" as the separator when writing programs
designed to display URLs to get from page to page of their application.
$base = "/search.php";
$qs = array ("action" => "search", "word" => "php");
echo create_url($base, $qs);
If the arg_separator is set to ";" the above script would output:
/search.php?action=search;word=php
Also, ini_get("arg_separator") and get_cfg_var("arg_separator") don't work if it was
set in .htaccess. Could we perchance also have get_master_cfg_value() and
get_local_cfg_value()? Those would help solve the problem above, though programmers
would have to write their own create_url() function to build urls with the
arg_separator value.
All three of those should be supported by PHP natively IMHO.
