Answer 1

You can use:

 $url = 'http://www.domain.com/River-Island/River-Island-T-Shirt-with-Triangle-Girl-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2516020'; $parsed = parse_url($url); $path = $parsed['path']; $path_parts = explode('/', $path); $desired_output = $path_parts[1]; // 1, because the string begins with slash (/) 

Answer 2

 $page = explode('/', substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 1), 2); echo str_replace("-"," ", $page[0]); 

Answer 3

Try the following: /http:\/\/[^\/]+\/([^\/]+)/i

Answer 4

 $path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH); $first = substr($path, 0, strpos($path, '/')); 

Check the docs for these three features. You may have to remove the slash from the beginning of the path, I'm not sure.

Answer 5

Do you have CodeIgniter ... ???, then it could be

 $this->uri->segment(segment number of url); 

and it needs to load uri library in Controller
