Question

How can I take a URL path like this and break it up to

• the params, which in this case would be param1=1 and param2=2
• the end script, like levelE
• the middle folders in my script levelA, levelB, levelC, levelD

.

http://test.com/ levelA/ levelB/ levelC/ levelD/ levelE ? param1=1 & param2=2

Another example would be this, where the folder depth is different, and the number of parameters is different:

http://test.com/ levelA/ levelB/ levelC/ levelD ? param1=1 & param2=2 & param3=3

Answer 1

Use parse_url() to split the URL, and parse_str() to split the query string into its components.

The levelA/levelB/levelC part is best split using explode().
