How to remove a PATH [closed]
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I just got a php script for ebooks.
This is the script https://codecanyon.net/item/ebookshare-ebook-hosting-and-sharing-script/23888795
The problem is that I want to keep the script on one site and the covers/books on another hosting.
The script allows me for the books to put and external URL but not for the covers.
If I try to put the external link in the database, it looks like the script puts a path in front.
How could I remove that path? ( http://localhost/eBook/public/storage/http://mywebsitestorage.com/picture.png )
Thank you
CODE:
images.blade.php
I'm not 100% sure though this is the file I need to change. :(
<div class="base-image">
#if (! $ebook->book_cover->exists)
<div class="image-placeholder">
<i class="fa fa-picture-o"></i>
</div>
#else
<a class="base-image-inner" href="{{ $ebook->book_cover->path }}">
<img src="{{ $ebook->book_cover->path }}" alt="{{ $ebook->name }}">
</a>
#endif
</div>

Answer 1

I'm not sure about it but I think,
<a class="base-image-inner" href="{{ $ebook->book_cover->path }}">
In this section, see other available keys instead of using ->path, Not so sure but maybe you'll find another key

Answer 2

Do this:
You can use explode and then pop the result array
<?php
$string = "http://localhost/eBook/public/storage/http://mywebsitestorage.com/picture.png";
echo getImageNameFromString($string);
function getImageNameFromString($string) {
$explodeString = explode("/", $string);
return array_pop($explodeString);
}
output
