[Resolved] Remove variable in URL

[Rayman3_tk]

Hi there!

I've got the following URL:

http://www.site.com/index.php?out=1&test=1

and I want to remove out=1 so it states

http://www.site.com/index.php?test=1

How would I do that? Thanks.

It would help quite a bit if you could tell us where the URL text is coming from in the first place. 🆒 Perhaps even post the code?

Yeah, if this is the current URL, then you can utilize the GET superglobal, otherwise, it's just string manipulation.

It's the current URL 🙂

example:
$new_url=ereg_replace("[&|?]my_var_name=([0-9a-zA-Z])*","",$url)
only if your variable value is a string that contains caracters (from a to z , 0-9, A-Z)

Considering out is the first variable, you don't want to remove the question mark. This may be overkill, but it adds all the needed checks in there.

if(isset($_GET['out'])) {
   if(count($_GET) > 1) {
     if(substr(current($_SERVER['argv']),0,4) == "out=") {
        $newurl = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".str_replace("out=".$_GET['out']."&","",current($_SERVER['argv']));
     }
     else {
        $newurl = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".str_replace("&out=".$_GET['out'],"",current($_SERVER['argv']));
     }
   }
   else {
      $newurl = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
   }
}
else {
   $newurl = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".current($_SERVER['argv']);
}

Thanks! I'll try it. 🙂
