[PHP] grabbing string from URL if URL is masked/forwarded

[Ryan Schefke]

I've tried this code and it works wonders.  

 

$string = "/tgwedding/users/client1/sites/testgrabid.php";
$thisarray = explode("/", $string);
foreach($thisarray as $item) {
  if(ereg('client', $item)) {
     $found = $item;
     $num = ereg_replace('client', '', $found);
  }
}

echo $num;

 

/////////////////////////// the above script will echo "1" from the string
(plan to substitute that string with $PHP_SELF

 

 

But I'm wondering if it will work when I setup a domain name with a
registrar and have that domain name MASKED and FORWARDED to a URL directory
that contains "/tgwedding/users/client1/sites/testgrabid.php".

 

Will this still work or will it not detect the "client1" in the string
because the URL is masked/forwarded.

 

I guess the question is with $PHP_SELF too....when you echo $PHP_SELF in a
script that is run from a masked domain name will it echo the real directory
URL or the masked one.

 

Thanks,

Ryan
