Re: URL Parsing Help

Actually, I found a simpler way: $vars = str_replace("/","&",$PATH_INFO); parse_str($vars); But thanks for your help... Christopher William Wesley wrote:

$myPairs = explode( "/", $PATH_INFO ); while( list( $key, $val ) = each( $myPairs ) ){ if( !empty( $val ) ){ $myVar = explode( "=", $val ); ${$myVar[0]} = $myVar[1]; } } For you example URI, "index.php/option=contact/step=view" you would then have $option and $step available, with the assigned values of "contact" and "view", respectively.

I am trying to write software that will allow me to pass variables to a php script like: index.php/option=contact/step=view When I do this, I get the varibal PATH_INFO which contains "/option=contact/step=view". Now, what I want is to have the following: $option = "contact" $step = "view" I tried using '$array = explode("/",$PATH_INFO);' which gives me the array: $array[1] = "option=contact" $array[2] = "step=view" This of course is not what I want. I want: $array[option] = "contact" $array[step] = "view" So that when I use the extract($array) command I get the variables: $option = "contact" $step = "view" Like I want.
