Split Url

[dlf1987]

<?php
$refer = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=XBOX+360&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a';

// Google
if (preg_match("/\bgoogle/", "$refer")) {
$refersplit = SE_filter($refer);
list($SEQ1, $SEQ2) = split('q=', $refersplit);
$refersplit = SE_filter($SEQ2);
list($SEQ1) = split('&', $refersplit);
}

echo $SEQ1;
?>

 

The above code works and echo's $SEQ1 which is "XBOX 360", but if i have a url that looks like this...

 

$refer = 'http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&q=XBOX+360';

 

Then it echo's  "t" because it pulls the first aq= instead of just q=

 

How do i fix that?

 

Hope this makes sense

if you just want to grab q every time:

 

$refer = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=XBOX+360&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a';

// Google
if (preg_match("/\bgoogle/", "$refer")) {
$url_parts = parse_url($refer);
        $url_query = $url_parts['query'];
        $q_vals = parse_str($url_query);
}

echo $q;

$url_parts = parse_url($refer);
        $url_query = $url_parts['query'];
        $q_vals = parse_str($url_query);
}

echo $q;

 

 

That doesnt pull the q from $refer though...

 

Looks like you just updated your post

tested and working.

 

actually, this

$q_vals = parse_str($url_query);

 

should be this:

 

parse_str($url_query);

 

 

"Looks like you just updated your post"

 

yeah, i realized my first post was off. :-)

That works good.

 

Thanks!

is it possible to make the "q" a different word like "keyword", but still pull the q value from the URL?

[BlueSkyIS]

yes. the parse_str() function loads all of the variables into memory. so every query key in the string will be in memory regardless of what it is. in our example, with the single parse_str() function, in addition to $q, you'll also have $ie, $oe, $aq, and all the rest.

What i mean is, is it possible to say "echo $keyword", but display the values of q from the URL? Or did you just answer my question, and I'm not understanding?

Ignore me. parse_str has had an array argument for a while now. Been a long time since I've looked at the function.

Do this: [updated]

 

$refer = 'http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&q=XBOX+360';

 

$url = parse_url($refer);

parse_str($url['query'], $queries);

$keyword = $queries['q'];
