This is a follow up on this question Use PHP to Get File Path/Extension from URL string
Given a string which is a URL: http://i.imgur.com/test.png&stuff
How do I get the name of a file: test.png without query parameters?
If I try suggested solution: parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH) I get /test.png&stuff
Unfortunately, it's not using a normal URL string, since it doesn't have the ? to separate out the query string. You may want to try using a few different functions together:
$path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
$path = explode('&',$path);
$filename = $path[0]; // and here is your test.png
parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH) I get /test.png&stuff
That's because you're giving it a URL which contains no query string. You meant /text.php?stuff; the query string is defined by an ?, not a &; & is used to append additional variables.
To extract the query string, you want PHP_URL_QUERY, not PHP_URL_PATH.
$x = "http://i.imgur.com/test.png?stuff";
parse_url($x, PHP_URL_QUERY); # "stuff"
&stuff isn't doing anything, so you probably don't need to extract anything.based on @Mark Rushakoff's answer the best solution:
<?php
$path = "http://i.imgur.com/test.png?asd=qwe&stuff#hash";
$vars =strrchr($path, "?"); // ?asd=qwe&stuff#hash
var_dump(preg_replace('/'. preg_quote($vars, '/') . '$/', '', basename($path))); // test.png
?>
