How do i select certain part of url.

Hi guys,

Lets say I wanted to select a certain part of a link such as http://megavideo.com/?v=SQPDLVO0

But what if i just wanted the SQPDLVO0 part what should i do.

Thanks a lot

 

If the format of the link is always like that str_replace will do:

$link="http://megavideo.com/?v=SQPDLVO0";

$linkCode=str_replace("http://megavideo.com/?v=","",$link);

echo $linkCode;

 

$code = preg_match('v=(.+?)$',$url);

 

thanks guys works perfectly.
