[PHP] extracting a html file name
Hello, Anybody have any suggestions on how i could get the test.html from the following: http://www.mydomain.com/member.php/randy/test.html Here is the part that I am having trouble with: the randy is not a directory it is a member name so it can change ie bill, car, jack, moneypower etc... example http://www.mydomain.com/member.php/moneypower/test.html I have experimented with the php variables that come in , but the only way I could figure out to get test.html out of there is If I captured the $PATH_INFO AND did a str_replace on all the html filenames on that site and did another one to get rid of the / . then I would have the member name and then i could do a string replace on the member name from the path info, which works , for now but as I get more files etc, it's gonna be a pain in the butt, there has to be a better way to do it.

Hi the function you need is explode. try $my_path = explode(/,$PATH_INFO); array_shift($my_path); so $my_path[0] will be moneypower using the above $my_path[1] will be test.html HTH matt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
