Re: Extract Path from URL

Don't use a regex: Try: $input = "http://www.test.com/path1/thisdoc.html" ; // find last occurence of "/" $pos = strrpos( $input, "/" ) ; // extract until this position $output = substr( $input, 0, $pos - strlen( $input ) + 1 ) ; echo $output ; HTH Ignatius ____________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Herhuth, Ron" <Ron.Herhuth@tatumcfo.com> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 3:51 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Extract Path from URL I'm having a tough time getting my head around regular expressions.
