URIs are represented with the help of the Opis\Http\Uri class. The role of this class is to decompose an URI into its basic components and provide developerds various methods that allow them to read the value of these individual components.

Constructing an URI is supper-easy and can be accomplished just as simple as bellow:

use Opis\Http\Uri;

$uri = new Uri("http://example.com");
echo $uri->getHost(); //> example.com

An URI object can be converted back to string through a simple type casting.

use Opis\Http\Uri;

$uri = new Uri('http://example.com');

// explicit type casting
$value = (string) $uri; 
echo $value; //> http://example.com

// implicit type catsing
echo $uri; //> http://example.com

Components

You can obtain an array of components by calling the getComponents method. The method will return a key-value mapped array where the key represents the component’s name and the value represents the component’s value.

$components = $uri->getComponents();

The following components are available for the following URI http://user:pass@example.com:8080/foo?bar=baz#qux:

• scheme - http.
• authority - user:pass@example.com:8080
• user_info - user:pass
• host - example.com:8080
• port - 8080. When the port is not explicitly specified, the value of this components is derived from the scheme component: 80 when the scheme is http, 443 when the scheme is https, and null otherwise.
• path - /foo
• query - bar=baz
• fragment - qux

The components of an URI can be accessed individually by using the following methods:

• getScheme - read the scheme component
• getAuthority - read the authority component
• getUserInfo - read the user_info component
• getHost - read the host component
• getPort - read the port component
• getPath - read the path component
• getQuery - read the query component
• getFragment - read the fragment component

You can also construct an URI by passing an array of components to its constructor.

use Opis\Http\Uri;

$components = [
    'scheme' => 'https',
    'host' => 'example.com',
    'path' => '/test'
];

$uri = new Uri($components);

echo $uri->getPort(); //> 443
echo $uri->getPath(); //> /test
echo $uri; //>https://example.com/test
