Question

I need some help cutting out a line from a path that’s returned from my database.

The results of “ImagePath” in the database return /share/images/Gif/XXX/XXXXXX/ (XX being filler for whatever is actually returned)

I need to cut off “/share/images/” from the results of ImagePath so I would just get /Gif/XXX/XXXXXX/

The reason is that this instance of the database is one way > updated from another server that has a different location for the images so I don’t really want to go through and delete those lines from the database since the next time it’s updated it would revert to the other path I just want to cut out those lines from the results.

<?php

        define('INCLUDE_CHECK',1);
        require "connect.php";
        require_once("class.php");

        mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

         // $product_id = intval($_GET['product']); //no default
            $UPC = intval($_GET['upc']); //no default


        $result = mysql_query("SELECT ImagePath, AlphaName, brand_name, FullName, ingredients FROM Images, Products WHERE ImageType='gif' AND images.ProductID = products.ProductID AND ViewCode='CF' AND products.UPC = '$UPC'");
        $count=mysql_affected_rows();

        $objJSON=new mysql2json(); 
        print(trim($objJSON->getJSON($result,$count)));


            /* disconnect from the db */
            @mysql_close($link);

        ?>

Well you can always do substring:

select substring(imagepath, 14) as ImagePath...

Or replace, if your ImagePath values aren’t all the same:

select replace(imagepath, '/share/images/', '') as ImagePath...
