Question

I have a string in php formatted like this:

http://aaaaaaaaaa/*http://bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

where aaa… and bbb…. represent random characters and are random in length.

I would like to parse the string so that I am left with this:

http://bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Answer 1

In this case I wouldn’t recommend regex but a simple substring or explode

$data = "http://aaaaaaaaaa/*http://bbbbbbbbbbb"
$parts = explode('*', $data);
echo $parts[1];

fin 🙂
