Question

Here is my string:

/index.php?option=com_podstrony&id=1

and I want to get from it “com_podstrony”

here is my regexp: /^\/*index.php\?option=(.*)+&.*$/
but result is wrong:

option=com_podstrony&id=1

I’m using PHP preg_replace.

Anyone can help me?

You don’t need to use a regex…

parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $get);

echo get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($get['option']) : $get['option'];

But if you wanted to use a regex for some reason…

preg_match('/^\/index\.php\?option=(?P<option>[^&;]+).*$/', $url, $matches);

echo $matches['option'];
