I have following URL string:
http://example.com/sfm?dir=uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/dir
How can I bind everything after the = to a php variable?
so my variable should contain:
$String = 'uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/dir'
You can use explode to get part after =
$str = "http://example.com/sfm?dir=uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/dir";
$strArr = explode("=",$str);
$url = $strArr[1];
echo $url;
A more flexible solution, would be to use parse_url and then parse_str:
$url = 'http://example.com/sfm?dir=uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/dir';
$query_string = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
parse_str($query_string, $query_vars);
var_dump($query_vars);
It’ll give you an array with all the GET parameters the URL might contain.
try this
$parts = parse_url('http://example.com/sfm?dir=uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/dir');
parse_str($parts['query'], $query);
echo $query['dir'];
