/* 
Extended parse_url
 parses a url correctly even with a url as query parameter
 also retuns dirname, basename and extension besides the other parse_url bits
 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
 also correctly parses mailto links with the email showing up as the path 
 note to self: remember extension does not include the point
 if $retempty is set to true empty values will be returned avoiding "nonexistand index" errors, if false then empty values will be erased
 Also returns isdirectory indicating whether the url points to a file or directory
