Extract some string from the URL - php

Question

I have a URL, e.g:
https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/.
From the above URL, I want to extract my-product-name-display if this URL contains it, if not, I want the string after /ex/{BYADE3323} as below URL does not contain my-product-name-display.
https://www.example.com/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/
I have tried below code:
`$url_param = "https://www.example.com/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";`
or
`$url_param = "https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";`
$e_product_title = explode('.com/', $url_param);
if(isset($e_product_title)){
$product_title = $e_product_title[1];
//now explode the ex
$get_asin = explode('/ex/',$product_title);
$final_product_title = str_replace('-',' ',$get_asin[0]);
$get_asin_final = explode('/', $get_asin[1]);
$asin_v2 = $get_asin_final[0];
}
else{
$get_asin = explode('/ex/',$url_param);
print_r($get_asin);
}
echo $final_product_title." ".$asin_v2;
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can explode() the string,
Check if my-product-name-display and BYADE3323 is in the array.
If present, find out BYADE3323's index.
Add 1 to it and check if the next element is present.
<?php
$str = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$str = str_replace('://', '__', $str);
$arr = explode('/', $str);
$return = '';
if (in_array('my-product-name-display', $arr) && in_array('BYADE3323', $arr)) {
$idx = array_search('BYADE3323', $arr);
$idx2 = $idx + 1;
if (! empty($idx) && ! empty($arr[$idx2])) {
$idx += 1;
$return = $arr[$idx2];
}
}
echo $return;
EDIT:
As per comments from OP, following is the program for array of urls and array of search strings.
<?php
$searchStrings = [];
$searchStrings[] = ['my-product-name-display', 'BYADE3323'];
$searchStrings[] = ['your-product-name-display', 'BYADE4434'];
$urls = [];
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/your-product-name-display/ex/BYADE4434/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/their-product-name-display/ex/TEST343/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/ANASDF33/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$urls[] = 'https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/';
$return = [];
if (! empty($urls)) {
foreach ($urls as $url) {
if (! empty($searchStrings)) {
foreach ($searchStrings as $searchString) {
$str = implode('/ex/', $searchString);
if (strpos($url, $str) !== false) {
$arr = explode('/', $url);
$idx = array_search('BYADE3323', $arr);
$idx2 = $idx + 1;
if (! empty($idx) && ! empty($arr[$idx2])) {
$idx += 1;
$return[] = $arr[$idx2];
}
}
}
}
}
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($return);
echo '</pre>';
Output:
Array
(
[0] => wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf
[1] => wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf
)

Answer 2

Try this to fetch from URL values.
pass url to the function. You can extract it.
Here is the URL :
https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/
So when u want only BYADE3323 this value.
When you print $parts array, you can find every values after your Host name.
Where your host name is https://www.example.com.
function GetStringAfterSecondSlashInURL($the_url)
{
$parts = explode("/",$the_url,3);
if(isset($parts[2]))
return $parts[2];
}

Answer 3

Use parse_url() function this will help you definitely.
You can refer it from official PHP site: parse-url.

Answer 4

You can use strpos to identify weather 'my-product-name-display' is exist s in url or not and execute code accordingly.
strpos($url_param, 'my-product-name-display') !== false
Modified code:
function get_product_title($url_param) {
$get_asin = explode('/ex/', $url_param);
$get_asin_final = explode('/', $get_asin[1]);
$asin_v2 = $get_asin_final[0];
return $asin_v2;
}
$url_param = "https://www.example.com/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";
$url_param = "https://www.example.com/my-product-name-display/ex/BYADE3323/wgsi?nfh3420000ooo2323nfnf/";
$product_name = '';
if (strpos($url_param, 'my-product-name-display') !== false) {
$e_product_title = explode('.com/', $url_param);
if (isset($e_product_title)) {
$product_title = $e_product_title[1];
//now explode the ex
$product_name = get_product_title($product_title);
}
echo "my product name display" . $product_name;
}
else {
$product_name = get_product_title($url_param);
echo $product_name;
}
