Extract parameter from a string - php

Question

I have to extract a string like this:
index.php?module=Reports&action=abc&rname=Instantpayment
Now my task is to extract report, action and rname value in PHP.
I have tried by using explode(), but I am not able to extract module.
How can I do it?

Answer 1

You could use parse_str() in this case:
$string = 'index.php?module=Reports&action=abc&rname=Instantpayment';
$string = substr($string, strpos($string, '?')+1); // get the string from after the question mark until end of string
parse_str($string, $data); // use this function, stress free
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
Should output:
Array
(
[module] => Reports
[action] => abc
[rname] => Instantpayment
)

Answer 2

$yourUrl="module=Reports&action=abc&rname=Instantpayment"
$exploded_array = array();
parse_str($yourUrl, $exploded_array);
$exploded_array['module'];
$exploded_array['action'];
$exploded_array['rname'];

Answer 3

Use $_GET to get query strings from the URL
echo $_GET['module']; //Reports
echo $_GET['action']; // abc
echo $_GET['rname']; // Instantpayment
For getting from the string try explode():
$str ='index.php?module=Reports&action=abc&rname=Instantpayment';
$e = explode('?', $str);
$e1 = explode('&', $e[1]);
foreach($e1 as $v) {
$ex = explode('=', $v);
$newarr[$ex[0]] = $ex[1];
}
print_r($newarr); // Use this array of values you want.
//Array ( [module] => Reports [action] => abc [rname] => Instantpayment )
echo $newarr['module'];
echo $newarr['action'];
echo $newarr['rname'];

Answer 4

You have to access the globale GET variable:
$_GET['module']
$_GET['action']
$_GET['rname']

Answer 5

Try this:
<?php
$temp = "index.php?module=Reports&action=abc&rname=Instantpayment";
$t1 = explode("=",$temp);
for ($i = 1; $i < sizeof($t1); $i++)
{
$temp = explode("&", $t1[$i]);
echo $temp[0] . "\n";
}
?>
