I’m coding a script to get image from a site. All is good, but then I notice there are some sites which have images in format like this:

http://site-name/images/dude-i-m-batman.jpg?1414151413
http://site-name/images/dude-i-m-batman.jpg?w=300

right now I’m dealing with it by doing

$file = substr($media,0, strrpos($image, '.') + 4);

I’m just wondering whether it’s a good practice or there’s a better way.

I’ve tried pathinfo and a couple other methods, but all return extension with the query string.

Thanks

    I’m unsure whether you mean you want the extension or (judging from your current code) the full path (minus any query string).

    Here’s both:

    $file = "http://site-name/images/dude-i-m-batman.jpg?1414151413";
preg_match('/^([^\?]+)(?:\?.*)?/', $file, $path_noQS);
preg_match('/(?<=\.)(\w{2,5})(?:\?.*)?/', $file, $extension);
echo $path_noQS[1]; //path, without QS
echo $extension[1]; //extension
