Cut some word from php available? - php

Question

Cut some word from php available ?
First access to page for example
www.mysite.com/test.php?ABD_07,_oU_876.00/8999&message=success
From my php code, i will get $curreny_link_redirect = test.php?ABD_07,_oU_876.00/8999&message=success
And i want to get $curreny_link_redirect_new = test.php?ABD_07,_oU_876.00/8999
( Cut &message=success )
How can i do ?
<?PHP
$current_link = "$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$curreny_link_redirect = substr($current_link,1);
$curreny_link_redirect_new = str_replace('', '&message=success', $curreny_link_redirect);
echo $curreny_link_redirect_new;
?>

Answer 1

Your str_replace call is inverse of what it should be. What you want to replace should be the first parameter, not the second.
//Wrong
$curreny_link_redirect_new = str_replace('', '&message=success', $curreny_link_redirect);
//Right
$curreny_link_redirect_new = str_replace('&message=success','', $curreny_link_redirect);

Answer 2

While simple way to do this is to use regex (or even static with str_replace()), I recommend to use built-in functions for url handling. This may be useful when working with complex parameters or multiple parameters:
$data = 'www.mysite.com/test.php?ABD_07,_oU_876.00/8999&message=success';
$url = parse_url($data);
parse_str($url['query'], $url['query']);
//now, do something with parameters:
unset($url['query']['message']);
$url['query'] = http_build_query($url['query']);
$url = http_build_url($url);
-please, note, that http_build_url() is a PECL function (pecl_http to be precise). The way above may look more complex, but it has benefits - first, as I've already mentioned, this will be easy to modify for working with complex parameters or multiple parameters. Second, it will produce valid url - i.e. encode such things as slashes, spaces, e t.c. - in result. Thus, result will always be correct url.

Answer 3

Do like this
<?php
$str = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
echo $str = array_shift(explode('&',$str));

Answer 4

Try this:
$current_link_path = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 1);
$params = $_GET;
if ($params['message'] == 'success') {
unset($params['message']);
}
$current_link_redirect = $current_link_path . '?' . http_build_query($params);

Answer 5

Maybe not an answer, but a disclaimer for future visitors:
1) I would strongly recommend the function: http://pl1.php.net/parse_url.
And in that case:
$current_link = "$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$arguments = explode('&', parse_url($current_link, PHP_URL_QUERY));
print_r($arguments);
2) To build new url, use http://pl1.php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-url.php. This is the best, future modifications ready solution I think.
In that case this solution is a little overkill, but these functions are really great, and worth to introduce here.
Best regards
