Extract Text From Link

[rule69]

Hi i want to do this but i dunno where to start havent really looked into regex.. so maybe some can help me out..

 

Lets Say i post a link like this from a form:

http://yourdomain.com/Dj_Mtamerr_-_Lessons_In_Love_-[32kbs]-_[YourDomain.com].mp3

 

what i need to getin return is this:

 

Artist: Dj Mtamerr

Track: Lessons In Love

 

AND IN Cases like:

 

http://yourdomain.com/Dj_Mtamerr_Ft_Dj_Sdoko_-_Lost_In_Time_-[32kbs]-_[YourDomain.com].mp3

 

Artist: Dj Mtamerr Ft. Dj Sdoko

Track: Lessons In Love

 

to be printed out

 

dunno if its possible bu if it is some1 please show me the way ty.

$get_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

 

$link1 = $get_url;

$link2 = substr("$link1", 7, -1);

$link3 = strtok($link2, "/");

print "link3";

 

U need to play with these two

 

substr()

strtok()

<?php
$url = 'http://yourdomain.com/Dj_Mtamerr_-_Lessons_In_Love_-[32kbs]-_[YourDomain.com].mp3';

list($artist, $track) = explode('-', parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));

$artist = str_replace('_', ' ', ltrim($artist, '/'));
$track = str_replace('_', ' ', $track);
?>

 

Try that. It isn't tested.

 

Edit: Just tested it. It does work. You might want to run both $artist and $track through trim() to remove the spaces at the start and end of the string.

Thanks for both  post especially Daniel0 your code worked wonders

 

EDIT:

 

well just tested my self all is good until i use a link like:

http://yourdomain.com/files/1186885_f5plf/Dj_Mtamerr_-_Lessons_In_Love_-[32kbs]-_[YourDomain.com].mp3

 

now it prints

 

Artist:files/1186885 f5plf/Dj Mtamerr

Track: Lessons In Love

 

is there a way to exclude any text before the "/"

 

anyways i thnk i need a new phpbook any suggestions?

[Daniel0]

Ah, well... I just assumed the domain would look sort of like the one you originally posted.

 

Try this instead:

<?php
$url = 'http://yourdomain.com/files/1186885_f5plf/Dj_Mtamerr_-_Lessons_In_Love_-[32kbs]-_[YourDomain.com].mp3';

list($artist, $track) = explode('-', strrchr($url, '/'));

$artist = trim(str_replace('_', ' ', ltrim($artist, '/')));
$track = trim(str_replace('_', ' ', $track));
?>

Thanks again great work mate props to u man 

[rule69]

can u please look at this and tell me why the data is not getting printed?

 

im posting it from a form the artist and the track strings are blank the rest of the data posts ???

<?php

for($i=0;$i<$forms;$i++){

$url = '$link[$i]';

list($artist, $track) = explode('-', strrchr($url, '/'));

$artist = str_replace('_', ' ', ltrim($artist, '/'));
$track = str_replace('_', ' ', $track);






echo "<table>


<tr><td class=\"lefts\" style=\"text-align: left;\">
Name: <b>$track[$i]</b>
</td><td class=\"right\"></tr>
<tr><td class=\"lefts\" style=\"text-align: left;\">
Artist: <b>$artist[$i]</b>
</td><td class=\"right\"></tr>
<tr><td class=\"lefts\" style=\"text-align: left;\">
Link: <b>$link[$i]</b>
</td><td class=\"right\"></tr>
<tr><td class=\"lefts\" style=\"text-align: left;\">
Cat: <b>$cat[$i]</b>
</td><td class=\"right\"></tr>
<tr><td class=\"lefts\" style=\"text-align: left;\">
Alpha: <b>$alpha[$i]</b
</td><td class=\"right\"></tr>
</table>

}
}
?>

Change

Name: <b>$track[$i]</b>

to

Name: <b>$track</b>

and change

Artist: <b>$artist[$i]</b>

to

Artist: <b>$artist</b>

 

Neither of those two variables are arrays.

[rule69]

done that but the returned text is still blank

 

Name: 	
Artist: 	
Link: http://yourdomain.com/files/1186885_f5plf/Dj_Mtamerr_-_Lessons_In_Love_-[32kbs]-_[YourDomain.com].mp3 	
Cat: rnb

Ah... you also need to change

$url = '$link[$i]';

to

$url = $link[$i];
