Given a full URL, it extracts the hostname, host type, login, password, path, query string, fragment, port, and SSL/TLS status into easy-to-read properties. It is useful when application code needs to inspect, validate, route, log, or pass URL parts to lower-level networking or API code. **Parse full URLs** Call `ParseUrl` to break a complete URL into structured properties that can be inspected individually. **Host and host type** Read the hostname and determine whether it is a DNS name, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address. **Path and query** Access the URL path, query string, and combined path-with-query value for request construction or routing. **Login and password** Extract embedded userinfo credentials when a URL contains a login and password component. **Port and TLS status** Determine the explicit or implied port and whether the URL represents an SSL/TLS connection. **Fragment handling** Read the URL fragment separately from the path and query for workflows that need anchor or client-side state information. **Common pattern:** Use `Url` when the application needs to decompose a URL before making a request or applying custom logic. Parse the full URL, read the properties needed by the caller, then pass the relevant pieces to classes such as `Chilkat.Http`, `Chilkat.Rest`, or `Chilkat.Socket`. Use `Url` for parsing; use the higher-level networking classes to actually send the request. For an extended overview, see [Url Class Overview](https://www.chilkatsoft.com/url_class_overview.asp). ## Object creation, unlocking and error handling **Object Creation** ```php Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater: $obj = new COM("Chilkat.Url"); Chilkat v9.5.0.*: $obj = new COM("Chilkat_9_5_0.Url"); ``` Call `Global.UnlockBundle` once at the start of the program, before using this or any other Chilkat class. Any string unlocks a fully functional 30-day trial; a purchased unlock code is used in production. See `guide.md` for the exact code in PHP ActiveX. How failure is reported depends on the method's return type and is stated in the note under each method below. In every case the diagnostic text is in the `LastErrorText` property of the object whose method was called. ## Members common to every Chilkat class Documented once per language in `common-members.md`; listed here so this page is self-contained. | Property | Signature | Access | Meaning | |---|---|---|---| | `DebugLogFilePath` | `string DebugLogFilePath` | read/write | If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. | | `LastBinaryResult` | `VARIANT LastBinaryResult (read-only)` | read-only | This property is mainly used in SQL Server stored procedures to retrieve binary data from the last method call that returned binary data. | | `LastErrorHtml` | `string LastErrorHtml (read-only)` | read-only | Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. | | `LastErrorText` | `string LastErrorText (read-only)` | read-only | Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. | | `LastErrorXml` | `string LastErrorXml (read-only)` | read-only | Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. | | `LastMethodSuccess` | `bool LastMethodSuccess` | read/write | Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: `true` means success, `false` means failure. | | `LastStringResult` | `string LastStringResult (read-only)` | read-only | In SQL Server stored procedures, this property holds the string return value of the most recent method call that returns a string. | | `LastStringResultLen` | `int LastStringResultLen (read-only)` | read-only | The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property. | | `VerboseLogging` | `bool VerboseLogging` | read/write | If set to `true`, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. | | `Version` | `string Version (read-only)` | read-only | Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0" | ## Member index | Member | Kind | Signature | |---|---|---| | `Frag` | property, read-only | `string Frag (read-only)` | | `Host` | property, read-only | `string Host (read-only)` | | `HostType` | property, read-only | `string HostType (read-only)` | | `Login` | property, read-only | `string Login (read-only)` | | `Password` | property, read-only | `string Password (read-only)` | | `Path` | property, read-only | `string Path (read-only)` | | `PathWithQueryParams` | property, read-only | `string PathWithQueryParams (read-only)` | | `Port` | property, read-only | `int Port (read-only)` | | `Query` | property, read-only | `string Query (read-only)` | | `Scheme` | property, read-only | `string Scheme (read-only)` | | `Ssl` | property, read-only | `bool Ssl (read-only)` | | `ParseUrl` | method | `bool ParseUrl(string url)` | ## Properties ### Url.Frag `Chilkat 11.7.0 · phpx · Url · Frag · property · read-only · since 9.5.0.49` ```php string Frag (read-only) ``` Contains any text following a fragment marker (#) in the URL, excluding the fragment marker.
