[SOLVED] Extracting a urlvariable from string?

[darkwolf]

If I sent 'www.darkwolf.ca/index.php?go=http://youtube.com/watch?v=MbILp2gRsEI&mode=related&search=' to my browser.

 

 

How would we put the v=MbILp2gRsE into a vairable of $v;

 

<?


$go = $_REQUEST['go'];

strstr ($go, $); //what the **** do I do??


?>

i think you could do

 

$v = $_GET['v'];

 

echo $v;

<?php

$go = $_GET["go"];
$query = parse_url($go, PHP_URL_QUERY);
parse_str($query, $result);

$v = $result["v"];

echo $v;

?>

Uhhh... thats just echo $_GET['v']..... there is none set? Thats not helpful......

 

....

 

 

 

<?php

$go = $_GET["go"];
$query = parse_url($go, PHP_URL_QUERY);
parse_str($query, $result);

$v = $result["v"];

echo $v;

?>

 

 

 

Sorry but that errors... I modified your method just a bit different and go it to work.

 

Thanks very much.

 

 

 

Heres the code if anyone needs

 

 

<?

$query=parse_url($go);

parse_str($query[query], $result);

echo $result['v'];

?>

 

YAY!
