Question

I have url like this

/cp/foo-bar/another-testing

how to parse it with the pattern

/cp/{0}-{1}/{2}

results will be

0:foo
1:bar
2:another-testing

I need a global solution to parse all kind of url with a pattern like that. I mean using {0}, {1} flag.

Answer 1

if (preg_match('#/cp/([^/]+?)-([^/]+?)/([^/]+)#'), $url, $matches)) {
    //look into $matches[1], $matches[2] and $matches[3]
}
