I guess I am a total noobie on PHP.
I am trying to change a url pattern to another pattern
from
to
http://www.example.co.kr/arti/politics/assembly/593397.html
so I am only taking "example0Bco0Bkr0Carti0Cpolitics0Cassembly0C5933970Bhtml" from the original url and tweak a bit '0B' -> '.' and '0C' -> '/'
Other parts like da.feedsportal.com/c/34762/f/640634/s/2dd0817c/l/0L0S and /ia1.htm shall be removed.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Use strpos , strrpos, substr and str_replace. Were gonna take it in 4 main steps. Find start and end of substring. A touch of validation. Grab the substring. Convert substring.
Basicly:
function convert ($inputString) {
$start = strpos( $inputString, '0L0S' );
$end = strrpos( $inputString, '/' );
if(! $start){
return false;
}
$start = $start + 4; // this is because strpos gives start of found string
$length = $end - $start;
$innerString = substr( $inputString, $start, $length);
$pass1 = str_replace ('0B', '.', $innerString);
$pass2 = str_replace ('0C', '/', $pass1);
return $pass2;
}
I'm sure there is a fancy way of doing this. But this should work.
Just use urlencode
echo urlencode("http://www.example.co.kr/arti/politics/assembly/593397.html");
//=> http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.co.kr%2Farti%2Fpolitics%2Fassembly%2F593397.html
Then you don't have to write it on your own
