Having a brain freeze...
Have a URL which may be in any of the formats :
http://url.com/stuff
url.com/somestuff
www.url.com/otherstuff
https://www.url.com/morestuff
You get the picture.
How do I remove the .com part to leave just the various 'stuff' parts ? For example, the above would end up :
stuff
somestuff
otherstuff
morestuff
This should do the trick for you!
<?php
$url = "http://url.com/stuff";
$querystring = preg_replace('#^(https|http)?(://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}/#', "", $url);
echo $querystring;
I submitted this answer because I'm not very fond of solutions using explode()
to handle this. Maybe your query string contains more slashes so, you'd have to write exceptions for those cases.
You could achieve that using the following code:
$com_pos = strpos($url, '.com/');
$stuff_part = substr($url, $com_pos + 5);

You can use explode
to make an array, then get the last element from the array.
$str = 'http://url.com/stuff';
$arr = explode('/', $str);
echo end($arr); // 'stuff'
preg_replace("/^(https?:\/\/)?[^\/]+/" ,"", $url);
$path = parse_url('http://url.com/stuff', PHP_URL_PATH);
If you leave the second parameter unspecified you can return an array including the domain etc.
Use explode function to divide the string.
<?php
$url = "http://url.com/stuff";
$stuff = explode("/", $url);
echo $stuff[sizeof($stuff) - 1];
?>
I used sizeof to access to last element.
