get string info

rklapwijk

This has got me for a day or two now:

i'm trying to figure out what the value of "query" is in for example the following 2 urls:

etc etc

so how do i know what the value of "query" is? I've tried using explode, eregi but i just can't figure it out.

Using $qstring = explode("=", $string) $result = $qstring[2]; for example won't work because the url is different everytime, so is the order of the "query" var.

And using eregi only checks if there's "query" in the string, but i can't get the result of "query" from that.

thanks in advance,

Hi there,

Try something like this (dunno if there's an easier way 🙂):

$string="http://www.asite.net/afile.php?this=that&query=thequery&me=good+fellow&bla=bla";

$string=explode("?", $string);
$string=strstr($string[1], "query");
$break=strpos($string, "&");
$string=substr($string, 0, $break);
echo $string;

Hope it will do the trick

Cheers

Works like a charm, thank you.

I explode at "=", that was my mistake and i didn't use strpos to find the position of "query". Damn, should've known that.

Thanks.

If the URL is the entire string, you might also want to have a look at [man]parse_url[/man].
