note 54485 added to reserved.variables

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. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54485 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54485&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54485&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54485&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54485&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54485&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54485&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54485&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
