CFLib.org – Common Function Library Project

Description:
Returns the port number for the supplied URL. If no port number is found, then returns an empty string. Works with any protocol that follows a "x.x:PortNumber" syntax where PortNumber = one or more digits. Supporting protocols include http, ftp, telnet, and others. Note, this function will return an empty string for any implied port numbers (containing a ":" but no digits afterwards).

Return Values:
Returns a string.

Example:

<cfoutput>
#GetPortFromURL("telnet://guest:pass@somehost.com:21/")#<br>
#GetPortFromURL("somehost.com:80")#<br>
#GetPortFromURL("somehost.com:")#<br>
#GetPortFromURL("http://somehost.com:8000")#<br>
</cfoutput>
