My temporary PHP fix from 2014 has nearly 20M installs. Today I'm deprecating it

    Author here, happy to answer any questions. I never imagined a polyfill for http_build_url would gain so much traction. After 12 years, deprecating it feels like the right move, especially given the new options from the community and PHP itself.

      I have written A LOT of PHP in my life. Not so much anymore but I only have fond memories of the community - thanks to folks like you. Kudos.
