    There is nothing as permanent as a temporary fix that works.

    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.

    We used to work together at AOL. Glad to see you on here; I hope you're doing great!

      Reading this threw me back to 2014 - how was working for AOL back then?
