从'http://someplace.com/index.php/foo'中获取'/ foo'

Question

As far as I know php has an function to get the '/foo/bar/' out of a URL like: 'http://someplace.com/index.php/foo/bar/'

Can't remember what the function is called.

[edit]

I remember using something like this in ExpressionEngine (see this). And later coming over an article explaining such a function build in PHP. However I can't recall what it was.

[edit #2]

I know that there are functions to get out the URL and several to manipulate it. However I clearly remember that there were one function doing just this specific thing. Look at the ExpressionEngine example I linked to too get a better understanding of what I mean.

[edit #3]

It wasn't ExpressionEngine I had used. It was CodeIngniter. But it's basically the same thing.

[edit #4]

Maybe I am wrong. I just remembering walking over just such a function in an article once... Case closed (unless someone stumble upon just such a function).

Answer 1

I believe you are looking for parse_url.

parse_url('http://someplace.com/index.php/foo');
/*
Array
(
    [scheme] => http
    [host] => someplace.com
    [path] => /index.php/foo
)

*/

You can then manipulate the path item to remove /index.php.
