how to get the main path

Hello everyone just wondering how to get the exact path of a certain url removing the files or parameter

e.g.
url = http://forums.digitalpoint.com?1937423i
result = http://forums.digitalpoint.com

url = http://site.com/folder/files.html
result = http://site.com/folder

URL = htp://www.site.com/myfile.html
result = http://www.site.com

Thanks in advance for any help

 

U can do lyke this !
1 : create in ur root directori a file named .htaccess
2 : add this code :

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html  index.php 
RewriteRule ^add.html test.php?id=12122121  
RewriteRule ^go/ test.php?id=11 

Code (markup):

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html index.php //index.php is original url and rezult url is index.html
RewriteRule ^go/ test.php?id=11 from "test.php?id=11" original url the rezult will be as a folder ...!
is simple to use
if u need mre help post or pm !

 

try this example on a seperate file, it will show you all the values you need:

<pre><?php print_r($_SERVER) ?></pre>

PHP:

The variable you'll be interested in is $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

Sorry, here's what you're looking for:

<?php
  $url = "http://www.example.com/directory/script?get1=value1";
  $parsed_url = parse_url($url);
?>
<pre><?php print_r($parsed_url); ?></pre>

PHP:

the output:

Array
(
    [scheme] => http
    [host] => www.example.com
    [path] => /directory/script
    [query] => get1=value1
)

Code (markup):

so the value you're interested in is $parsed_url['host']

 

hello

maybe this help

<?php
echo('http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'');
?>

PHP:

 

The thread owner I think asked about manipulation not mod-rewrite.

so, pinoy, you need to use PHP's eregi_replace(), and some Regular Expression to deal with this.

Good luck,

 

Yes you're right I need to manipulate the url, for example I have site where webmasters can submit a url , instead of getting the entire url including file and parameters.

meaning remove all files or parameter in the url

http://www.site.com/?parameter

remove the /?parameter - http://www.site.com

or http://www.site.com/folder/file.php
remove /file.php - http://www.site.com/folder

 

$url = "http://www.site.com/?parameter";
$host = substr($url,0,strpos($url,"/"));

Code (markup):

result http://www.site.com/

$url = "http://www.site.com/folder/file.php";
$host = substr($url,0,strpos($url,"/"));

Code (markup):

result http://www.site.com/folder/

if you dont want the / on the end do

$url = "http://www.site.com/folder/file.php";
$host = substr($url,0,strpos($url,"/")-1);

Code (markup):

result http://www.site.com/folder/

Untested, but should work in theory.
