My source string could be:
example.com or http://example.com or www.example.com or https://example.com or http://www.example.com or https://www.example.com
or
example.abc.com or http://example.abc.com or www.example.abc.com or https://example.abc.com or http://www.example.abc.com or https://www.example.abc.com
I want the result: example
How can we do this using php string functions? or in other way?
Try this
$str = 'http://example.abc.com';
$last = explode("/", $str, 3);
$ans = explode('.',$last[2]);
echo $ans[0];
You can use parse_url
<?php
// Real full current URL, this can be useful for a lot of things
$url = 'http'.((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on') ? 's' : '').'://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// Or you can put another url
$url = 'https://www.example.foo.biz/';
// Get the host name
$hostName = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);
// Get the first part of the host name
$host = substr($hostName, 0, strpos($hostName, '.'));
print_r($url);
print_r($hostName);
// Here is what you want
print_r($host);
?>
you can use strpos:
<?php
$url = "http://www.example.com";
/* Use any of you want.
$url = "https://example.com";
$url = "https://www.example.abc.com";
$url = "https://www.www.example.com"; */
if ($found = strpos($url,'example') !== false) {
echo "it exists";
}
?>
EDIT:
So this is what I cam up with now, using explode and substr:
$url = "http://www.example.com";
/* Use any of you want.
$url = "https://example.com";
$url = "https://www.example.abc.com";
$url = "https://www.www.example.com"; */
$exp ='example';
if ($found = strpos($url, $exp) !== false) {
echo $str = substr($url, strpos($url, $exp));
echo "<br>". "it exists" . "<br>";
$finalword = explode(".", $str);
var_dump($finalword);
}
?>
I have the following code :
function removeFilename($url)
{
$file_info = pathinfo($url);
return isset($file_info['extension'])
? str_replace($file_info['filename'] . "." . $file_info['extension'], "", $url)
: $url;
}
$url1 = "http://website.com/folder/filename.php";
$url2 = "http://website.com/folder/";
$url3 = "http://website.com/";
echo removeFilename($url1); //outputs http://website.com/folder/
echo removeFilename($url2);//outputs http://website.com/folder/
echo removeFilename($url3);//outputs http:///
Now my problem is that when there is only only a domain without folders or filenames my function removes website.com too.
My idea is there is any way on php to tell my function to do the work only after third slash or any other solutions you think useful.
UPDATED : ( working and tested )
<?php
function removeFilename($url)
{
$parse_file = parse_url($url);
$file_info = pathinfo($parse_file['path']);
return isset($file_info['extension'])
? str_replace($file_info['filename'] . "." . $file_info['extension'], "", $url)
: $url;
}
$url1 = "http://website.com/folder/filename.com";
$url2 = "http://website.org/folder/";
$url3 = "http://website.com/";
echo removeFilename($url1); echo '<br/>';
echo removeFilename($url2); echo '<br/>';
echo removeFilename($url3);
?>
Output:
http://website.com/folder/
http://website.org/folder/
http://website.com/
Sounds like you are wanting to replace a substring and not the whole thing. This function might help you:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr-replace.php
Since filename is at last slash you can use substr and str_replace to remove file name from path.
$PATH = "http://website.com/folder/filename.php";
$file = substr( strrchr( $PATH, "/" ), 1) ;
echo $dir = str_replace( $file, '', $PATH ) ;
OUTPUT
http://website.com/folder/
pathinfo cant recognize only domain and file name. But if without filename url is ended by slash
$a = array(
"http://website.com/folder/filename.php",
"http://website.com/folder/",
"http://website.com",
);
foreach ($a as $item) {
$item = explode('/', $item);
if (count($item) > 3)
$item[count($item)-1] ='';;
echo implode('/', $item) . "\n";
}
result
http://website.com/folder/
http://website.com/folder/
http://website.com
Close to the answer of splash58
function getPath($url) {
$item = explode('/', $url);
if (count($item) > 3) {
if (strpos($item[count($item) - 1], ".") === false) {
return $url;
}
$item[count($item)-1] ='';
return implode('/', $item);
}
return $url;
}
I use this function to get basename of an URL
function get_domain($url)
{
$pieces = parse_url($url);
$domain = isset($pieces['host']) ? $pieces['host'] : '';
if (preg_match('/(?P<domain>[a-z0-9][a-z0-9\-]{1,63}\.[a-z\.]{2,6})$/i', $domain, $regs)) {
return $regs['domain'];
}
return false;
}
print get_domain("http://mail.somedomain.co.uk"); // outputs 'somedomain.co.uk'
But how can I get pure name without '.co.uk' or '.com' or anything else?
for example: somedomain without co.uk
I know I can remove manual via str_replace($old, $new, $string) ... but Is there not a better method?
You can parse_url to get what you want:
$url= "http://mail.somedomain.co.uk";
$parts = parse_url($url);
$hostParts = explode('.',$parts['host']);
$main = $hostParts[1];
echo $main;
However, this will always give you the second part of domain. So, if you have a URL like http://somedomain.com/ the output will be com.
$array = explode('.', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
echo $array[1];
OR
if URL Is dynamic than try this.
$array = explode('.',$url);
echo $array[1];
First, I need to check the URL string, if the protocol of URL is https, then I need to replace http in PHP.
So the inputs and outputs of this php function must be like this:
Input -> https://example.com/example/https.php
Output-> http://example.com/example/https.php
Input -> http://example.com/example/https.php
Output-> http://example.com/example/https.php
This will ensure it's at the beginning of the string and it's followed by ://
$input = 'https://example.com/example/https.php';
echo preg_replace('/^https(?=:\/\/)/i','http',$input);
function remove_ssl ($url) {
if (strpos($url, 'https://') == 0) {
$url = 'http://' . substr($url, 7);
}
return $url;
}
The
strpos($url, 'https://') == 0
Is on purpose and is not === because we only want the case when the URL starts with https:// and just replace that one.
See also: http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php
...
$parsed_url = parse_url($url);
if ($parsed_url['scheme'] == 'https') {
$url = 'http://' . substr($url, 7);
}
return $url;
...
At first you need to check https presence with strpos():
if( strpos( $url, 'https://') === 0){
(notice ===), than you may extract the all string after https:// (that's after first 8 characters, or 5 when keeping original ://) with substr():
$url = 'http://' . substr( $url, 8);
$parse = parse_url($url);
if($parse['scheme'] === 'https')
{
$url = str_replace('https','http',$url,1);
}
You can use this solution.
You can use a combination of str_pos() and str_replace() to accomplish this:
if(str_pos($input,'https:') === 0) {
$output = str_replace('https:','http:',$input,1);
} else {
$output = $input;
}
function replace_uri_protocol($uri, $search, $replacement){
$parts = parse_url($uri);
$uri = $replacement."://".$parts["host"].$parts["path"];
if(isset($parts["query"])){
$uri .= "?".$parts["query"];
}
return $uri;
}
Try this it's work on me..
$url = 'https://www.example.com';
echo preg_replace("(^https?://)", "http://", $url);
I have some links in a Powerpoint presentation, and for some reason, when those links get clicked, it adds a return parameter to the URL. Well, that return parameter is causing my Joomla site's MVC pattern to get bungled.
What's an efficient way to strip off this return parameter using PHP?
Example:
http://mydomain.example/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283&return=aHR0cDovL2NvbW11bml0
The safest "correct" method would be:
Parse the url into an array with parse_url()
Extract the query portion, decompose that into an array using parse_str()
Delete the query parameters you want by unset() them from the array
Rebuild the original url using http_build_query()
Quick and dirty is to use a string search/replace and/or regex to kill off the value.
In a different thread Justin suggests that the fastest way is to use strtok()
$url = strtok($url, '?');
See his full answer with speed tests as well here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1251650/452515
This is to complement Marc B's answer with an example, while it may look quite long, it's a safe way to remove a parameter. In this example we remove page_number
<?php
$x = 'http://url.example/search/?location=london&page_number=1';
$parsed = parse_url($x);
$query = $parsed['query'];
parse_str($query, $params);
unset($params['page_number']);
$string = http_build_query($params);
var_dump($string);
function removeParam($url, $param) {
$url = preg_replace('/(&|\?)'.preg_quote($param).'=[^&]*$/', '', $url);
$url = preg_replace('/(&|\?)'.preg_quote($param).'=[^&]*&/', '$1', $url);
return $url;
}
parse_str($queryString, $vars);
unset($vars['return']);
$queryString = http_build_query($vars);
parse_str parses a query string, http_build_query creates a query string.
Procedural Implementation of Marc B's Answer after refining Sergey Telshevsky's Answer.
function strip_param_from_url($url, $param)
{
$base_url = strtok($url, '?'); // Get the base URL
$parsed_url = parse_url($url); // Parse it
// Add missing {
if(array_key_exists('query',$parsed_url)) { // Only execute if there are parameters
$query = $parsed_url['query']; // Get the query string
parse_str($query, $parameters); // Convert Parameters into array
unset($parameters[$param]); // Delete the one you want
$new_query = http_build_query($parameters); // Rebuilt query string
$url =$base_url.'?'.$new_query; // Finally URL is ready
}
return $url;
}
// Usage
echo strip_param_from_url( 'http://url.example/search/?location=london&page_number=1', 'location' )
You could do a preg_replace like:
$new_url = preg_replace('/&?return=[^&]*/', '', $old_url);
Here is the actual code for what's described above as the "the safest 'correct' method"...
function reduce_query($uri = '') {
$kill_params = array('gclid');
$uri_array = parse_url($uri);
if (isset($uri_array['query'])) {
// Do the chopping.
$params = array();
foreach (explode('&', $uri_array['query']) as $param) {
$item = explode('=', $param);
if (!in_array($item[0], $kill_params)) {
$params[$item[0]] = isset($item[1]) ? $item[1] : '';
}
}
// Sort the parameter array to maximize cache hits.
ksort($params);
// Build new URL (no hosts, domains, or fragments involved).
$new_uri = '';
if ($uri_array['path']) {
$new_uri = $uri_array['path'];
}
if (count($params) > 0) {
// Wish there was a more elegant option.
$new_uri .= '?' . urldecode(http_build_query($params));
}
return $new_uri;
}
return $uri;
}
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = reduce_query($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
However, since this will likely exist prior to the bootstrap of your application, you should probably put it into an anonymous function. Like this...
call_user_func(function($uri) {
$kill_params = array('gclid');
$uri_array = parse_url($uri);
if (isset($uri_array['query'])) {
// Do the chopping.
$params = array();
foreach (explode('&', $uri_array['query']) as $param) {
$item = explode('=', $param);
if (!in_array($item[0], $kill_params)) {
$params[$item[0]] = isset($item[1]) ? $item[1] : '';
}
}
// Sort the parameter array to maximize cache hits.
ksort($params);
// Build new URL (no hosts, domains, or fragments involved).
$new_uri = '';
if ($uri_array['path']) {
$new_uri = $uri_array['path'];
}
if (count($params) > 0) {
// Wish there was a more elegant option.
$new_uri .= '?' . urldecode(http_build_query($params));
}
// Update server variable.
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $new_uri;
}
}, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
NOTE: Updated with urldecode() to avoid double encoding via http_build_query() function.
NOTE: Updated with ksort() to allow params with no value without an error.
This one of many ways, not tested, but should work.
$link = 'http://mydomain.example/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283&return=aHR0cDovL2NvbW11bml0';
$linkParts = explode('&return=', $link);
$link = $linkParts[0];
Wow, there are a lot of examples here. I am providing one that does some error handling. It rebuilds and returns the entire URL with the query-string-param-to-be-removed, removed. It also provides a bonus function that builds the current URL on the fly. Tested, works!
Credit to Mark B for the steps. This is a complete solution to tpow's "strip off this return parameter" original question -- might be handy for beginners, trying to avoid PHP gotchas. :-)
<?php
function currenturl_without_queryparam( $queryparamkey ) {
$current_url = current_url();
$parsed_url = parse_url( $current_url );
if( array_key_exists( 'query', $parsed_url )) {
$query_portion = $parsed_url['query'];
} else {
return $current_url;
}
parse_str( $query_portion, $query_array );
if( array_key_exists( $queryparamkey , $query_array ) ) {
unset( $query_array[$queryparamkey] );
$q = ( count( $query_array ) === 0 ) ? '' : '?';
return $parsed_url['scheme'] . '://' . $parsed_url['host'] . $parsed_url['path'] . $q . http_build_query( $query_array );
} else {
return $current_url;
}
}
function current_url() {
$current_url = 'http' . (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? 's' : '') . '://' . "{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";
return $current_url;
}
echo currenturl_without_queryparam( 'key' );
?>
$var = preg_replace( "/return=[^&]+/", "", $var );
$var = preg_replace( "/&{2,}/", "&", $var );
Second line will just replace && to &
very simple
$link = "http://example.com/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283&return=aHR0cDovL2NvbW11bml0"
echo substr($link, 0, strpos($link, "return") - 1);
//output : http://example.com/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283
#MarcB mentioned that it is dirty to use regex to remove an url parameter. And yes it is, because it's not as easy as it looks:
$urls = array(
'example.com/?foo=bar',
'example.com/?bar=foo&foo=bar',
'example.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo',
);
echo 'Original' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo $url . PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL . '#AaronHathaway' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo preg_replace('#&?foo=[^&]*#', null, $url) . PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL . '#SergeS' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo preg_replace( "/&{2,}/", "&", preg_replace( "/foo=[^&]+/", "", $url)) . PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL . '#Justin' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo preg_replace('/([?&])foo=[^&]+(&|$)/', '$1', $url) . PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL . '#kraftb' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo preg_replace('/(&|\?)foo=[^&]*&/', '$1', preg_replace('/(&|\?)foo=[^&]*$/', '', $url)) . PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL . 'My version' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo str_replace('/&', '/?', preg_replace('#[&?]foo=[^&]*#', null, $url)) . PHP_EOL;
}
returns:
Original
example.com/?foo=bar
example.com/?bar=foo&foo=bar
example.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo
#AaronHathaway
example.com/?
example.com/?bar=foo
example.com/?&bar=foo
#SergeS
example.com/?
example.com/?bar=foo&
example.com/?&bar=foo
#Justin
example.com/?
example.com/?bar=foo&
example.com/?bar=foo
#kraftb
example.com/
example.com/?bar=foo
example.com/?bar=foo
My version
example.com/
example.com/?bar=foo
example.com/?bar=foo
As you can see only #kraftb posted a correct answer using regex and my version is a little bit smaller.
Remove Get Parameters From Current Page
<?php
$url_dir=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$url_dir_no_get_param= explode("?",$url_dir)[0];
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$url_dir_no_get_param;
This should do it:
public function removeQueryParam(string $url, string $param): string
{
$parsedUrl = parse_url($url);
if (isset($parsedUrl[$param])) {
$baseUrl = strtok($url, '?');
parse_str(parse_url($url)['query'], $query);
unset($query[$param]);
return sprintf('%s?%s',
$baseUrl,
http_build_query($query)
);
}
return $url;
}
Simple solution that will work for every url
With this solution $url format or parameter position doesn't matter, as an example I added another parameter and anchor at the end of $url:
https://example.com/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283&return=aHR0cDovL2NvbW11bml0&bonus=test#test2
Here is the simple solution:
$url = 'https://example.com/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283&return=aHR0cDovL2NvbW11bml0&bonus=test#test2';
$url_query_stirng = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
parse_str( $url_query_stirng, $url_parsed_query );
unset($url_parsed_query['return']);
$url = str_replace( $url_query_stirng, http_build_query( $url_parsed_query ), $url );
echo $url;
Final result for $url string is:
https://example.com/index.php?id=115&Itemid=283&bonus=test#test2
Some of the examples posted are so extensive. This is what I use on my projects.
function removeQueryParameter($url, $param){
list($baseUrl, $urlQuery) = explode('?', $url, 2);
parse_str($urlQuery, $urlQueryArr);
unset($urlQueryArr[$param]);
if(count($urlQueryArr))
return $baseUrl.'?'.http_build_query($urlQueryArr);
else
return $baseUrl;
}
function remove_attribute($url,$attribute)
{
$url=explode('?',$url);
$new_parameters=false;
if(isset($url[1]))
{
$params=explode('&',$url[1]);
$new_parameters=ra($params,$attribute);
}
$construct_parameters=($new_parameters && $new_parameters!='' ) ? ('?'.$new_parameters):'';
return $new_url=$url[0].$construct_parameters;
}
function ra($params,$attr)
{ $attr=$attr.'=';
$new_params=array();
for($i=0;$i<count($params);$i++)
{
$pos=strpos($params[$i],$attr);
if($pos===false)
$new_params[]=$params[$i];
}
if(count($new_params)>0)
return implode('&',$new_params);
else
return false;
}
//just copy the above code and just call this function like this to get new url without particular parameter
echo remove_attribute($url,'delete_params'); // gives new url without that parameter
I know this is an old question but if you only want to remove one or few named url parameter you can use this function:
function RemoveGet_Regex($variable, $rewritten_url): string {
$rewritten_url = preg_replace("/(\?)$/", "", preg_replace("/\?&/", "?", preg_replace("/((?<=\?)|&){$variable}=[\w]*/i", "", $rewritten_url)));
return $rewritten_url;
}
function RemoveGet($name): void {
$rewritten_url = "https://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
if(is_array($name)) {
for($i = 0; $i < count($name); $i++) {
$rewritten_url = RemoveGet_Regex($name[$i], $rewritten_url);
$is_set[] = isset($_GET[$name[$i]]);
}
$array_filtered = array_filter($is_set);
if (!empty($array_filtered)) {
header("Location: ".$rewritten_url);
}
}
else {
$rewritten_url = RemoveGet_Regex($name, $rewritten_url);
if(isset($_GET[$name])) {
header("Location: ".$rewritten_url);
}
}
}
In the first function preg_replace("/((?<=\?)|&){$variable}=[\w]*/i", "", $rewritten_url) will remove the get parameter, and the others will tidy it up. The second function will then redirect.
RemoveGet("id"); will remove the id=whatever from the url. The function can also work with arrays. For your example,
Remove(array("id","Item","return"));
To strip any parameter from the url using PHP script you need to follow this script:
function getNewArray($array,$k){
$dataArray = $array;
unset($array[$k]);
$dataArray = $array;
return $dataArray;
}
function getFullURL(){
return (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'on' ? "https" : "http") . "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
}
$url = getFullURL();
$url_components = parse_url($url);
// Use parse_str() function to parse the
// string passed via URL
parse_str($url_components['query'], $params);
print_r($params);
<ul>
<?php foreach($params as $k=>$v){?>
<?php
$newArray = getNewArray($params,$k);
$parameters = http_build_query($newArray);
$newURL = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".$parameters;
?>
<li><?=$v;?> X
<?php }?>
</ul>
here is functions optimized for speed. But this functions DO NOT remove arrays like a[]=x&a[1]bb=y&a[2]=z by array name.
function removeQueryParam($query, $param)
{
$quoted_param = preg_quote($param, '/');
$pattern = "/(^$quoted_param=[^&]*&?)|(&$quoted_param=[^&]*)/";
return preg_replace($pattern, '', $query);
}
function removeQueryParams($query, array $params)
{
if ($params)
{
$pattern = '/';
foreach ($params as $param)
{
$quoted_param = preg_quote($param, '/');
$pattern .= "(^$quoted_param=[^&]*&?)|(&$quoted_param=[^&]*)|";
}
$pattern[-1] = '/';
return preg_replace($pattern, '', $query);
}
return $query;
}
<? if(isset($_GET['i'])){unset($_GET['i']); header('location:/');} ?>
This will remove the 'i' parameter from the URL. Change the 'i's to whatever you need.
