note 28063 deleted from function.parse-url by didou

Note Submitter: bermi.ferrer ) a t ( akelos d·o·t com ---- This function allows your script to delete a GET VAR from your URL. This could be done in many different ways, but this is first one I found (not the best :P ) Imagine we have the following values: $url = "http://www.php.net/test.php?value1=test1&value2=test2"; $value_to_delete = "value1"; $new_url = delete_value_from_url($url, $value_to_delete); after delete_value_from_url() $new_url will be http://www.php.net/test.php?value2=test2 //HERE IS THE FUNCTION function delete_value_from_url($url, $value_to_delete) { //First we separate the URL into the possible delimiters $parts = preg_split("(&|\?)",$url); //Only if separated parts have more than one array element if(count($parts) > 0) { //We move thru the array searching for matches foreach($parts as $part) { //Now we need to guess which separator use to join the parts $i++; if($i == 1) $separator = "?"; else $separator = "&"; //If it's a match, we fill $result with corresponding values if(!eregi("($value_to_delete)(=)",$part)) $result .= $part.$separator; }//END foreach($parts as $part) //Now we delete last & from the $result string $result = substr($result, 0, (strlen($result)-1)); }//END if(count($parts) > 0) //The URL doesn't have any GET value, so ve return the initial URL else { $result = $url; } return $result; }//END delete_value_from_url I hope this is usefull for someone
