HOWTO: grab filename from address ...

[bsamson]

Hello ...
I have the following URL:
http://www.mydomainname.com/about.php

I would like to find out how to grab just the [i]about.php[/i] and store it in $pgfile.

The only other thing is occasionally there are variables that get passed through the URL, for example:
http://www.mydomainname.com/about.php?r=4&yu-8

Even with the above case I would like to be able to grab just the [i]about.php[/i] and store it in $pgfile.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

[code=php:0]
$pgfile = basename("http://www.mydomainname.com/about.php");
[/code]

Thanks for the help. Here's what I came up w/ for code:

[code]<?

$pgfile = basename($REQUEST_URL);

echo $pgfile;

?>[/code]

Now this works in grabbing the [i]about.php[/i] ...

But, if I have this url:
http://www.mydomainname.com/about.php?var1=blah&var=blah

it grabs [i]about.php?var1=blah&var=blah[/i] in $pgfile ...

Now the url doesnt always have the variables ... but when it does I would like for it to just grab about.php. Any suggestions how I can get this to work? Thanks again in advance!

This worked for me :)

[code]<?php

function clean_name($url)
{
$url=basename($url);
$temp = explode("?",$url);
return $temp[0];
}

?>[/code]

Hey Orio! Thank you for the code! Appreciate it!

I have a little addition, to avoid urls like http://www.domain.com/page.htm#top

[code]<?php

function clean_name($url)
{
$url=basename($url);
$temp = explode("?",$url);
$temp2 = explode("#",$temp[0]);
return $temp2[0];
}

?>[/code]
