Need current dir of string

[XpertWorlock]

trying to get a reg exp to get the current directory of a string (not working directory).

So far what I have is :

 

http\:\/\/www\.([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+)([a-zA-Z0-9\-\/]*)

 

the problem is it will capture the filename too :

 

ex . http://www.example.com/testFolder/test.php

 

output -> http://www.example.com/testFolder/test

 

I'm assuming I have to use a look ahead to ensure there is no extension, but I've never fully grasped look aheads.

Can anyone help?

<?php
$test = '. http://www.example.com/testFolder/test.php';
preg_match('/http\:\/\/www\.([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\/)+/', $test, $matches);
echo $matches[0];
?>

or...

 

$info = parse_url($url);
echo $info['path'];
