Extract some string from the URL

Question

I have a URL, e.g: https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/.

From the above URL, I want to extract my-product-name-display if this URL contains it, if not, I want the string after /ex/{BYADE3323} as below URL does not contain my-product-name-display.

https://www.example.com/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/

I have tried below code:

`$url_param = "https://www.example.com/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";`
or 
`$url_param = "https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";`

    $e_product_title = explode('.com/', $url_param);
    if(isset($e_product_title)){
    $product_title = $e_product_title[1];
    //now explode the ex
    $get_asin = explode('/ex/',$product_title);
    $final_product_title = str_replace('-',' ',$get_asin[0]);
    $get_asin_final = explode('/', $get_asin[1]);
    $asin_v2 = $get_asin_final[0];
    }
    else{
        $get_asin = explode('/ex/',$url_param);
        print_r($get_asin);
    }
echo $final_product_title." ".$asin_v2;

Thanks in advance.

I want "my-product-name-display" if exists in url else want "BYADE3323" from url. — Manish Agarwal

Is BYADE3323 a fixed string or it can have any value a that position? — Ropali Munshi

"my-product-name-display" can be after .com/ or may not be avilable into URL. if my-product-name-display is not in url then after .com/ex/BYADE3323/ would be found into url, here BYADE3323 and my-product-name-display can not be same, it would be different for every new URL. — Manish Agarwal

You can explode() the string,

Check if my-product-name-display and BYADE3323 is in the array.

If present, find out BYADE3323's index.

Add 1 to it and check if the next element is present.

<?php
$str = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$str = str_replace('://', '__', $str);
$arr = explode('/', $str);
$return = '';
if (in_array('my-product-name-display', $arr) && in_array('BYADE3323', $arr)) {
 $idx = array_search('BYADE3323', $arr);
 $idx2 = $idx + 1;
 if (! empty($idx) && ! empty($arr[$idx2])) {
  $idx += 1;
  $return = $arr[$idx2];
 }
}
echo $return;

EDIT:

As per comments from OP, following is the program for array of urls and array of search strings.

<?php
$searchStrings = [];
$searchStrings[] = ['my-product-name-display', 'BYADE3323'];
$searchStrings[] = ['your-product-name-display', 'BYADE4434'];

$urls = [];
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/your-product-name-display/ex/BYADE4434/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/their-product-name-display/ex/TEST343/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/ANASDF33/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';

$return = [];
if (! empty($urls)) {
 foreach ($urls as $url) {
  if (! empty($searchStrings)) {
   foreach ($searchStrings as $searchString) {
    $str = implode('/ex/', $searchString);
    if (strpos($url, $str) !== false) {
     $arr = explode('/', $url);
     $idx = array_search('BYADE3323', $arr);
     $idx2 = $idx + 1;
     if (! empty($idx) && ! empty($arr[$idx2])) {
      $idx += 1;
      $return[] = $arr[$idx2];
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($return);
echo '</pre>';

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf
    [1] => wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf
)

Pupil Over a year ago

You can add two arrays for them and need to find from array instead of string.

Try this to fetch from URL values.

pass url to the function. You can extract it.

Here is the URL : https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/

So when u want only BYADE3323 this value. When you print $parts array, you can find every values after your Host name. Where your host name is https://www.example.com.

function GetStringAfterSecondSlashInURL($the_url)
    {
        $parts = explode("/",$the_url,3);

        if(isset($parts[2]))
            return $parts[2];
    }

Use parse_url() function this will help you definitely.

You can refer it from official PHP site: parse-url.

You can use strpos to identify weather 'my-product-name-display' is exist s in url or not and execute code accordingly.

strpos($url_param, 'my-product-name-display') !== false

Modified code:

function get_product_title($url_param) {
  $get_asin = explode('/ex/', $url_param);
  $get_asin_final = explode('/', $get_asin[1]);
  $asin_v2 = $get_asin_final[0];
  return $asin_v2;
}

$url_param = "https://www.example.com/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";
$url_param = "https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";
$product_name = '';
if (strpos($url_param, 'my-product-name-display') !== false) {
  $e_product_title = explode('.com/', $url_param);
  if (isset($e_product_title)) {
    $product_title = $e_product_title[1];
    //now explode the ex
    $product_name = get_product_title($product_title);
  }
  echo "my product name display" . $product_name;
}
else {
  $product_name = get_product_title($url_param);
  echo $product_name;
}

here "my-product-name-display" is not fixed, that why it is creating issue. while extracting the data.

Dhaval Panara Over a year ago

You mean, position of "my-product-name-display" is not fixed and you want to exact product name from it? Do you have some other sample urls?

Manish Agarwal Over a year ago

Yes position of "my-product-name-display" is not fixed, and may be it not available into URL, sample url you have used in above code,
