I'm using Laravel 5.5 and have a question about routing.
My route is like this
Route::get('/folder/{param}', 'PageController@getFolderTree');
And I want to get all parameters after /folder/:
http://example.com/folder/com/example/app -> I get /example/app
How can it possible ?
If you know in advance what the maximum number of parameters will be you can do one of the next 2.
a) If all are neccessery:
Route::get('/folder/{a}/{b}/{c}', 'PageController@getFolderTree');
b) If not all are neccessery:
Route::get('/folder/{a?}/{b?}/{c?}', 'PageController@getFolderTree');
And retrieve them like this:
public function getFolderTree($a, $b, $c) {...}
And if you don't know the maximum you will need to do a regex and explode. This would be the route:
Route::get('/folder/{any}', 'PageController@getFolderTree')
->where('any', '.*'); // Indicates that {any} can be anything
And do the explode in the controller:
public function getFolderTree($any) {
{
$params = explode('/', $any); // $params will be an array of params
}
You can explode the URL. For example:
$url = 'http://example.com/folder/com/example/app';
$explodedText = explode('/folder/', $url);
$textBeforeFolder = $explodedText[0];
$textAfterFolder = $explodedText[1]; // This is the one you want
request->url() //will return the whole url
and
request()->uri() //will return the URI
Now if you want to access the full URL u can access
request()-fullUrl() //will return the full url
Now you can use str_replace()
str_replace(request()->url.'folder/com/','', request->fullUrl());
//it will return example/app
function getFolderTree($params){//here you can access params}
