Using PHP to split a URL -

i creating php proxy accepts url , confirms on list of servers.

when importing url application ran issue needed 2 parser tags. need split along "\?" tag string, in case, "export?"

i using preg first tag. accept strings export tag or there other method doing this?

please le me know how accomplished or if have more questions.

as ircmaxell has stated in comments, php have function parse url: parse_url.

and when have url path (i assume export? path suffix plus query indicator), can use explode split path path segments:

$path = parse_url($url, php_url_path); $segments = explode('/', $path); 

you can last path segment 1 of following:

end($segments) $segments[count($segments)-1] 

and cope trailing slashes, can use rtrim($path, '/') remove them.

all together:

$url = 'http://www.example.com/subfolders/export?'; $path = parse_url($url, php_url_path); $segments = explode('/', rtrim($path, '/')); echo end($segments);
