Need string formatted

[himtuna]

Hi

I need  help with the php code

 

<?php

$current_url = "http://" .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

print $current_url

?>

 

this is gonna return a url ( a string ) with exactly this pattern ( so dont have to worry much about the  logics fo the url returned)

http://yoursite.com/node/123/idontwant_thisstuff

or could be

http://yoursite.com/?q=node/123/idontwant_thisstuff

 

Basically i want to run a loop to get rid of "/idontwant_thisstuff"  i.e anything after node/87/...

should get deleted. i.e i  just want  url two main things

first the word "node"( ofcourse the base url also http://yoursite.com/ ) and the numeric value proceeding it.

 

eg http://yoursite.com/node/1/events    --->  http://yoursite.com/node/1

    http://yoursite.com/node/123423423/groups  -----> http://yoursite.com/node/123423423

 

please if someone could do this

Having working since morning on drupal, and this is the last step(except some css work) to achieve my goals.

please help me out

Thanks

Something like

preg_match('@^/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)@i', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches);

$url = "http://" .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$matches[0];
print $url;

Thanks this is real awesome code

but  a little problem( but once i move my site online this will be rectified as I dont have clean urls) is that ?= appears in the query just before the 'node' so its not giving the desired results. Drupal is not going to generate anything other than 'node' as a first argument.

 

A drupal guy gave me this code( it uses drupal variables)

 

<?php

if ( arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) ) {

  $my_id = arg(1);

  echo $my_id ;

}

?>

 

But your solution has opened my mind, so hardcore programmer.

Thanks buddy

This is the final working snippet

 

<?php

if ( arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) ) {

  $my_id = arg(1);

  print url('node/' . $my_id  . '/somestring', array('absolute' =>  TRUE));

}

?>
