[SOLVED] Finding the question mark

[Jesper]

Hey guys,

 

For my latest project, I need to find the something in an expression. The expression is:

gamenieuws/([0-9]+)/?.*

The problem is that at the end of the expression there can be another GET variable, so it would end with something like ?&var=val. I don't want to replace this with the regexp. I've managed so far to find the question mark, but it replaces the string until 1 char before the ?, instead of it replaces it until the ?.

 

My regexp is now:

gamenieuws/([0-9]+)/?(.[^\?])* ?item=$1

 

 

The problem

It might be hard to understand, and I find it hard to explain as well. Anyways, this is what I want:

Find gamenieuws/([0-9]+)/.*, but then I want to pass on the get variables as well. For example, I want

gamenieuws/123/Lorem-Ipsum-Dolor-Sit-Amet.html?&val1=25&val2=4

to become

?item=123&val1=25&val2=4

.

 

Could anyone help me with how to do this, because I've been trying for very long and I have no idea .

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jesper

$q_string = '?'.end(explode('?', $url));

Thanks, but the problem is that it's for a .htaccess file. Forget to say that, sorry.

[jxrd]

Oh right.

 

Hmm...can't you just put .*? on the end?

[Jesper]

Yeah, but how would I get the GET data that's after that? So how would I retrieve the val1 and val2 in gamenieuws/123/Lorem-Ipsum-Dolor-Sit-Amet.html?&val1=25&val2=4, as this data has to be passed on as well.

Try this:

<pre><?php
$str = 'gamenieuws/123/Lorem-Ipsum-Dolor-Sit-Amet.html?&val1=25&val2=4';
preg_match('#gamenieuws/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z-]+\.html)\?(.*?)$#', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>

Thanks, but the problem is that it's for a .htaccess file.

[jxrd]

Yeah, I don't mean actually use that code.

 

I'm just giving you an example of the regex to use.

[Jesper]

Ah, kk, thanks . I've found the problem now, and that is that GET variables are just not part of the replacing when using RewriteRule. I'm using %{QUERY_STRING} for the GET variables now, as I should've in the first place .

 

Thanks for the help.
