Question

I have to set some routing rules in my php application, and they should be in the form
/%var/something/else/%another_var

In other words i beed a regex that returns me every URI piece marked by the % character, String marked by % represent var names so they can be almost every string.

another example:
from /%lang/module/controller/action/%var_1
i want the regex to extract lang and var_1

i tried something like

/.*%(.*)[\/$]/

but it doesn’t work…..

Seeing as it’s routing rules, and you may need all the pieces at some point, you could also split the string the classical way:

$path_exploded = explode("/", $path);
foreach ($path_exploded as $fragment) if ($fragment[0] == "%") 
  echo "Found $fragment";
