Question

I need to be able to remove a URL from a variable, I’m wondering how i do this.
Example – Say my script returns http://www.example.com/file.php?id=1234 i need to be able to remove the http://www.example.com/file.php?id= bit, just leaving the id number. If anyone can help, it would be great 🙂

Answer 1

Something like this?

$var = 'http://www.example.com/file.php?id=1234';
$query = parse_url($var, PHP_URL_QUERY);
$query_components = parse_str($query);

$id = $query_components['id'];
