Url is end of life. We strongly encourage you to use League\Uri instead.

Installation

System Requirements

• PHP >= 5.3.0 but the latest stable version of PHP is recommended;
• mbstring extension installed since version 3.1;

Composer

URL is available on Packagist and can be installed using Composer:

composer require league/url

This will edit (or create) your composer.json file and automatically choose the most recent version, for example: ~3.0

Most modern frameworks will include Composer out of the box, but ensure the following file is included:

<?php

// Include the Composer autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Going Solo

You can also use URL without using Composer by registing an autoloader function:

<?php

spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {
    $prefix = 'League\\Url\\';
    $base_dir = __DIR__ . '/src/';
    $len = strlen($prefix);
    if (strncmp($prefix, $class, $len) !== 0) {
        // no, move to the next registered autoloader
        return;
    }
    $relative_class = substr($class, $len);
    $file = $base_dir . str_replace('\\', '/', $relative_class) . '.php';
    if (file_exists($file)) {
        require $file;
    }
});

Or, use any other PSR-4 compatible autoloader.
