Exclude Everything but a part of php_self

AndrewWest

Hello,

I am trying to get the url for a certain page that I will allow comments on. I don't wanna have to enter a new database structure insert for each page, so I'd atleast like to make it randomly get the part of the page the database will be named after.

So if I use $_SERVER['php_self'] then It displays.

/port/modules/fullsize/90242.jpg.php

I would like it to leave off everything BUT the 90242 part of the url, any suggestions?

Is it always going to be numeric? Is is always going to be the only part of the path that's numeric? Is so, regex would be the best bet. If not, a [man]pathinfo[/man] and [man]strchr[/man] should work.

I can do whichever. What do you think would be easier?

Depends on the first two questions I asked you.

Ok, I used the second option. I did this, and it works. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.

<?php

   $lang =  $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
   $path_parts = pathinfo($lang);
   $string1 = $path_parts["basename"];
   $needle = ".jpg.php";

  $path = substr("$string1",0,strpos($string1,$needle));
  echo($path);
?>

I also used this to generate an image. I just now have to copy a file, and rename it. Which isn't half as much work as before.
