[SOLVED] parse_url query

[e1seix]

quick question. as i've explained previously i have a query with two potential results

 

$link1 = ('http://www.cheapsmells.com/index.asp?ref=webgains&siteid=20592');
$link2 = ('http://track.webgains.com/click.html?wgcampaignid=20592&wgprogramid=222&wgtarget=http://www.cheapsmells.com/');

 

$link1 will always relate to the following kind of result:

 

http://www.cheapsmells.com/viewProduct.php?id=5098

 

and $link2 to this one:

 

http://track.webgains.com/click.html?wgcampaignid=20592&wgprogramid=222&wgtarget=http://www.cheapsmells.com/product_show_new.asp?id=5098

 

i am using the code, kindly provided by someone on the forum:

 

if ($row['sto_link'] == $link1){
$code = $row['buy_link'];
$temp = parse_url($code);
$temp2 = parse_str($temp['query'],$parsed_code);
$new_id = explode('/',$parsed_code['id']);
$new_code = 'http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=911&awinaffid=74040&p=http://www.cheapsmells.com/viewProduct.php?id='.$new_id[0];

echo '<a href="'.$new_code.'" target="_new">';
echo '<img alt="BUY" height="15" src="/BUY.gif" target="_new" width="50" /></a>';
}

 

to lift the "id" from the two potential results. the problem with the 2nd ($link2) is that it is a much more complex filepath and the "id" does not come after the first "?" in the path.

 

hence why i can't get my elseif statement:

 

elseif ($row['sto_link'] == $link2){
$code = $row['buy_link'];
$temp = parse_url($code);
$temp2 = parse_str($temp['query'],$parsed_code);
$new_id = explode('/',$parsed_code['asp?id']);
$new_code = 'http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=911&awinaffid=74040&p=http://www.cheapsmells.com/viewProduct.php?id='.$new_id[0];

echo '<a href="'.$new_code.'" target="_new">';
echo '<img alt="BUY" height="15" src="/BUY.gif" target="_new" width="50" /></a>';
}

 

to work. how can i resolve this?

 

many thanks!

If id=XXXXXX is always at the end of the url you can use the preg_match as follow:-

<?php
$link = 'http://www.cheapsmells.com/viewProduct.php?id=5098';
preg_match('/id=(\d+)$/', $link, $match);
echo $match[1]; //5098

$link = 'http://track.webgains.com/click.html?wgcampaignid=20592&wgprogramid=222&wgtarget=http://www.cheapsmells.com/product_show_new.asp?id=5098';
preg_match('/id=(\d+)$/', $link, $match);
echo $match[1]; //5098
?>
