Hey, say I have a url just being passed through my php is there any easy way to get some GET variables that are being passed through it? It's not the actual url of the page or anything.
like a just have a string containing
http://www.somesite.com/index.php?url=var&file_id=var&test=var
Whats the best way to get the values for those variables?
$href = 'http://www.somesite.com/index.php?url=var&file_id=var&test=var';
$url = parse_url($href);
print_r($url);
/* Array
(
[scheme] => http
[host] => www.somesite.com
[path] => /index.php
[query] => url=var&file_id=var&test=var
) */
$query = array();
parse_str($url['query'], $query);
print_r($query);
/* Array
(
[url] => var
[file_id] => var
[test] => var
) */
style.css?v=12345, v being a version number to force a refresh of the cache browser side. What I wanted to do was remove or extract the parameter. Got it working the way I want now.It's actually a lot easier than writing any custom functions.
$queryStr = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
I'd use something like:
preg_match_all('/(\?|&)([^=]+=[^&]*)/', $string , $matches);
then
print_r($matches[2]);
/*
Array
(
[0] => url=var
[1] => file_id=var
[2] => test=var
)
*/
Hope it works 4 u.
A quick google for "PHP GET" gives this page from w3schools:
