Hey, i think this is an easy question. I have a URL and i want to set one of the directories in a variable.
URL:
http://www.domainname.com/Irving/For-Sale/Used/Dodge/Ram-1500/2009--Black-Truck/4691335/
var usedInventory = _____
I need a variable that equals "Used"
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks!
js> var url = 'http://www.domainname.com/Irving/For-Sale/Used/Dodge/Ram-1500/2009--Black-Truck/4691335/';
js> url.split('/')[5]
Used
In a browser environment, use location.href instead of url. You don't even have to involve jQuery for that btw.
var urlParts = location.href.split('/');
var yourField = urlParts[5];
window.location.pathname to skip the irrelevant host name parts and just split up the path parameters. In this case, the part required is [2].I would use PHP to grab the variable from the URL. Since you're using mod_rewrite I'm assuming the variable is named "used". I'm also assuming that you're working in an environment that is PHP.
<?php $used = $_GET['used']; ?>
var usedInventory = <?php echo $used; ?>
$used = isset($_GET['used']) ? $_GET['used']: ''; to ensure no notice is thrown if the variable is not set.mystring = "http://www.domainname.com/Irving/For-Sale/Used/Dodge/Ram-1500/2009--Black-Truck/4691335/";
if (mystring.match(/Used/)) {
alert("Used");
}
