$_GET... TRIM?

I'm currently trying to build a module for Joomla...

 

I'm building a query that uses the $_GET function to get the viewed articles id... it works fine except for the following problem on certain links.

/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2:lorem-ipsum&catid=3:site-content

 

It gets the entire '2:lorem-ipsum' value when i only want the 2...

 

Is there a way to just extract the numbers?

 

Thanx in advance

Roughly:

$id = $_GET['ID'];
$id = explode(':', $id);
echo $id[0]; // echos 2, id[1] = lorem-ipsum

 

Not sure it's 100% correct, I'm tired.

explode

[ngreenwood6]

you can use the explode function():

 

$string = '2:lorem-ipsum';

$explode = explode(':',$string);

echo $explode[0]; //prints 2
echo $explode[1]; //prints lorem-ipsum
