bronzemonkey Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 If I have links in these formats... 1) http://www.somewebsite.com/IWANTTHIS/ 2) http://www.somewebsite.com/IWANTTHIS/this-is-unwanted-and-variable/ ...and I'd like to extract the IWANTTHIS part (which is not constant) from the permalinks, how do I go about doing this? I'm trying to find a way to achieve context sensitive menus in wordpress and this seems to be the only way to access the page-slug of pages and posts. Thanks for any help.

bronzemonkey Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks, I ended up using the following (in wordpress): <?php $url = get_permalink('', false); // get the permalink $spliturl = explode("/", $url); // break down the permalink $pageID = $spliturl[3]; // select the page slug ?> <body id="body_<?php echo $pageID; ?>"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
