Get path from URL string

Question

This is my code:

$produrl = '/'. basename(str_replace(".html","",$_cat->getUrl())) .'/' . basename($_product->getProductUrl()) ;

$_cat->getUrl() returns this:

http://website.com/category/subcategory.html

I need: for $produrl part of basename(str_replace(".html","",$_cat->getUrl()))to return category/subcategory

The issue:

It gives back only category without /subcategory I know the issue is in the str_replace it's wrong isn't? Can you help me with that?

Pleast Note I have 2 Cases:

Sometimes I get http://website.com/category/subcategory.html.
Sometimes http://website.com/category.html

And I would like it to work with both of them :)

You should use parse_url instead:

$url = parse_url($_cat->getUrl());
$produrl = str_replace(".html","",$url['path']);

I have updated my question I have 2 Cases sometimes I get website.com/category/subcategory.html and sometimes website.com/category.html does it still will work for it?

yes parse_url and the path part gives you everything after the domain name. php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

Look at the link to the parse_url() function. $url in this case is the result array you get from parse_url. Everything that is after the domain name is stored with the key 'path'

wow it's such a great function! In sense of performance it's not heavy?

I personally have never benchmarked it but I highly doubt you will suffer any performance issues.

The problem is that you're using the basename() function.

Take a look at the documentation for it: http://php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php

It will only return the trailing string after the "/" (forward slash) or "\" (back slash, for Windows).
