i have a variable that shows me the path to a directory like below:
$dir = uploads/sha256/folder1/subfolder1/subsubfolder1
How can i "cut off" the first 2 directories from $dir so that it becomes:
$dir = folder1/subfolder1/subsubfolder1
sample code:
$dir = "uploads/sha256/folder1/subfolder1/subsubfolder1";
$pieces = explode("/", $dir);
echo $pieces[2]; // piece2
This gives me only folder1
And i need the complete path after the sha256 so what i actually try to achieve is something like this:
echo $pieces[>2];
You can capture () everything after the first two directories and replace with that:
$dir = preg_replace('#[^/]+/[^/]+/(.*)#', '$1', $dir);
Or you can explode it, slice all elements after the first two and implode it again:
$dir = implode('/', array_slice(explode('/', $dir), 2));
