Hi,

I am trying to strip down a url like this:

http://www.website.co.uk/word-word-word/word-word-word.html

I just want to extract the bold section above between the / / and remove the - does anyone know how i can do this.

Cheers,
Adam

 

This will extract what you want:

<?php

$url = 'http://www.website.co.uk/word-word-word/word-word-word.html';

$parts = parse_url($url);

list($junk, $want, $junk) = explode('/', $parts['path'], 3);

echo $want;
?>

PHP:

Output:

word-word-word

Code (markup):

Thank you for this jayshah, how will i get the url to start with as they will be different.

 

$_server['request_uri']

EDIT:

The forum converted it to lowercase, but it should all be uppercase.

 

Exactly what nico_swd said. Just to confirm, it's:

$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

PHP:

Replace the $url = ... line with that one.
