PHP Substring

[rajaboys]

I have stored db URL like this ../../images/aprilfoolcards/lovefoolsday.gif, ../../images/navratri/navratri1.gif

 

want to know how to get category like aprilfoolcards, navratri in PHP.

basically you use strrpos and substr

ie

<?php
$path = "../../images/aprilfoolcards/lovefoolsday.gif";
$cat = substr($path, 13, strrpos($path,"/", 13)-13);
echo $cat;
?>

 

untested

EDIT updated: made a pigs ear of that!

[sasa]

explode on /

and get one before last

$x = ekplode('/', $url);
$part = $x[count($x)-2];

[MadTechie]

Which is easier than using a substr

 

also sasa code should be

$x = explode('/', $url);

not

$x = ekplode('/', $url);
