Need some advice on how to do this...

[g0dzuki]

I'm not sure what php command to use to get the result I'm looking for, maybe some of the gurus out there can offer up some insite.

I need to be able to get a directory path from a URL -- normally I could use preg_match() but the twist is that the directory name is almost always going to be different.

For example, in:

http://www.domain.com/thisdirectory/

i would need to get 'thisdirectory' into a variable for later use -- but that's where the problem is, not sure how to do that.

Can anyone offer up some ideas?

Always appreciated,

~ Chris

Hi,

How about using explode(), by '/' on the path?

How about parse_url() ?

hmm... after researching your suggestions I came across pathinfo() -- I might be able to use that to do what I want to do, but I won't be able to check until I get home.

Thanks for everyones help!
