   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.

      The JavaScript world is littered with stuff comparing to which your patch seems like a complex project. See those examples:

         is-even implementation:

         &gt; &#x27;use strict&#x27;;

         &gt; var isOdd = require(&#x27;is-odd&#x27;);

         &gt; module.exports = function isEven(i) {

         &gt; return !isOdd(i);

         &gt; };

            I thought you were joking, but then I checked the code... holy shit, it is real.

            Surely the author&#x27;s gotta be trolling, right?
