I’m trying to setup a page that pulls just a part of the URL but I can’t even get it to echo on my page.
Since I code in PHP, I prefer dynamic pages, so my urls usually have “index.php?page=whatever” I need the “whatever” part only.
Can someone help me. This is what I have so far, but like I said, I can’t even get it to echo.
$suburl = substr($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"],strrpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],"/")+1);
and to echo it, I have this, of course:
echo "$suburl";

Answer
your url is index.php?page=whatever
and you want to get the whatever from it
if the part is after ? ( abc.com/xyz.php?……) , you can use $_GET[‘name’]
for your url index.php?page=whatever
use :
$parameter= $_GET[‘page’]; //( value of $parameter will be whatever )
for your url index.php?page=whatever&no=28
use :
$parameter1= $_GET[‘page’]; //( value of $parameter1 will be whatever )
$parameter2= $_GET[‘no’]; //( value of $parameter2 will be 28 )
please before using the parameters received by $_GET , please sanitize it, or you may find trouble of malicious script /code injection
for url : index.php?page=whatever&no=28
like :
if(preg_match("/^[0-9]*$/", $_GET['no'])) { $parameter2= $_GET['no']; }
it will check, if GET parameter no is a digit (contains 0 to 9 numbers only), then only save it in $parameter2 variable. this is just an example, do your checking and validation as per your requirement.
