Break Path into multiple Paths - php

Question

I have the following path for example:
/Test1/Test2/Test3
Sometimes this path can be for example:
/Test1/Test2/Test3/Test4/Test5 and so on...
What I would like to do is take this unknown path and translate it into sections which will ultimately result in a navigation URL such as:
/Test1
/Test1/Test2
/Test1/Test2/Test3
and so on...
It's difficult to supply you with any code examples because many of the things I have attempted have resulted in no good results.
I assume I need to explode() the path using / as the delimiter and then splice it together somehow. I'm really at a loss here.
Does anyone have any suggestions I can try?

Answer 1

<?php
$path = '/Test1/Test2/Test3/Test4/Test5';
$explode = explode('/', $path);
$count = count($explode);
$res = '';
for($i = 1; $i < $count; $i++) {
echo $res .= '/' . $explode[$i];
echo '<br/>';
}
Returns:
/Test1
/Test1/Test2
/Test1/Test2/Test3
/Test1/Test2/Test3/Test4
/Test1/Test2/Test3/Test4/Test5

Here is how you get your array segments:
$path = '/Test1/Test2/Test3/Test4/Test5'; // or whatever your path is
$segments = explode('/', ltrim('/',$path));
If I understand you, then what you want to do is to build an array that is like
Array(
[0] => '/Test1'
[1] => '/Test1/Test2'
...
)
So you could just loop through your array and build up this new array
$paths_from_segments = array();
$segment_count = count($sgements);
$path_string = '';
foreach($sgement as $segment) {
$path_string .= '/' . $segment;
$paths_from_segments[] = $path_string;
}
var_dump($paths_from_segments);

Not exactly what you mean by "splice it together", but from the sounds of it you're looking for PHP's implode(), which is explode() in reverse.
explode("/", "test1/test2");
// result:
// Array
// (
// [0] => test1
// [1] => test2
// )
implode("/", Array("test1", "test2"));
// result:
// "test1/test2"
