Question

I would like to isolate a certain part of a URL if the structure remains the same:

ex. URL – http://www.URL.co.uk/87/318/carrot_cake/

it is the 318 part of the example above, however the number can range between 1 – 999999 – but will always remain between 2 x ‘/’ and to the left of the title (carrot_cake in the example) this is where I strugling.

Thanks,
B

Answer 1

This should work:

<?php
$url = 'http://www.URL.co.uk/87/318/carrot%5Fcake/';
$id = explode('/', $url);
echo $id[5];
?>

Update: fixed code, and tested
