parse_url make / store / cat1 / pro4 to / store / cat1

Question

I have this url /store/cat1/pro4 I want it to remove the /pro4, so it becomes /store/cat1

Or

If I just could extract the /cat1 from the string

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Here is a way to do it by spliting the string:

$url = "/store/cat1/pro4";
list($path,$store,$category,$product) = explode("/",$url);

echo $store;    // store
echo $category; // cat1
echo $product;  // pro4
