In 4.2.x, parsing the partial URL "/foo.php?a=b&c=d"
returned

array(2) {
  ["path"]=>
  string(8) "/foo.php"
  ["query"]=>
  string(7) "a=b&c=d"
}

but in 4.3.0-pre2 the query part is not recognized an
parse_url() return

array(1) {
  ["path"]=>
  string(16) "/foo.php?a=b&c=d"
}

The parse_url() function also have problems with URLs like
"file:///foo.txt", where the host is absent, and "mailto:user@domain". Both URLs were handled properly in 4.2.x

grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

As a result of this bug, has the function been changed to now parse file:///path/to/file as:

Array(2) (

   ["scheme"] => 'file'
   ["host"] => '/path/to/file'

)

That seems incorrect, as it use to:

Array(2) (

   ["scheme"] => 'file'
   ["path"] => '/path/to/file'
)

Which is correct, and how the function use to behave. If anything, the ["host"] should state "localhost". Needless to say, this should be now documented in the function manual if this is going to be the way it works.

The aforementioned was found in PHP 4.3.0, production, on an RH 6.2 Linux box.

r_1.53 (2 months, 3 weeks ago) which rewrote the php_url_parse function changed the bahavior (from 'path' to 'host')

r_1.61 (25 hours, 32 minutes ago) seems to have completely broken the file:// scheme.  file://path/to/file works (albiet with host and not path) but the technically correct style "file:///path/to/file" fails.

Both issues need to be addressed.
