eregi to match url

[jmurch]

I need help on the proper syntax for a regex to match a URL that is captured via http_referer.

 

I need my regex expression to match what would in wildcard sytax be:

 

https://www.mysite.com/folder/*

 

Not all that difficult but I can seem to get the sytax correct.

 

TIA, Jeff

You want to put this in the regex forum... but what did you want to capute using the regex, only the wildcard?

 

$subject = 'https://www.mysite.com/folder/some/thing/else.php';
preg_match('%\\Ahttps://www\\.mysite\\.com/folder/(.++)\\z%i', $subject, $match);
print_r( $match );

 

Explanation of regex

Assert position at the start of the string «\A»
Match the characters "https://www" literally «https://www»
Match the character "." literally «\.»
Match the characters "mysite" literally «mysite»
Match the character "." literally «\.»
Match the characters "com/folder/" literally «com/folder/»
Match the regular expression below and capture its match into backreference number 1 «(.++)»
   Match any single character that is not a line break character «.++»
      Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, without giving back (possessive) «++»
Assert position at the very end of the string «\z»
