obsidian Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 if you're wanting to remove the "/maindir" from the front of a string, just do this:[code]<?php$String = "/maindir/subdir/index.php";$String = preg_replace('|^/maindir|', '', $String);echo $String;?>[/code]if you're wanting to add it, just concatonate your string:[code]<?php$String = "/subdir/index.php";echo "/maindir" . $String;?>[/code]hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
