  6.  if $parsequery is set to TRUE the query variables and their values are returned as part of the array, this also applies to mailto links
  7.  also correctly parses mailto links with the email showing up as the path
  8.  note to self: remember extension does not include the point
  9.  if $retempty is set to true empty values will be returned avoiding "nonexistand index" errors, if false then empty values will be erased
  10.  Also returns isdirectory indicating whether the url points to a file or directory
