I wanted to be able to embed a variable in the path. This is useful when, for example, images are
rendered on the fly and you would like them to have different urls.
Here is an illustration:
www.somesite.com/image.php/IMAGETEXTHERE
This would return an image with the text after "image.php/" contained in it.
I could not recall the name of this feature, so I made a work-around in PHP...
<?
function getPathVariables() {
$sPathPS = $_SERVER[PHP_SELF];
$sPathFS = __FILE__;
$aPathPS = array_reverse(explode("/", $sPathPS));
$aPathFS = array_reverse(explode("/", $sPathFS));
$aImageArgs = array();
$x = 0;
while ( $aPathPS[$x] != $aPathFS[$x] && $aPathPS[$x] != $aPathFS[0] ) {
array_unshift($aImageArgs, $aPathPS[$x]) ;
$x++;
}
return $aImageArgs;
}
?>
This function will return an array containing each "/" delimited portion of the path after
the script name itself.
