Detect part of a URL

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 14.2012

Hello,
I am working on a language feature.

For example, if a user is on “site.com/en/food/hamburger.php”, and they press the german icon, I need it to get the bit after the en, or de, and then take that information, and put it after the opposite (site.com/de)

Thanks

[code=php]<?php

$url = preg_replace('|^/[^/]+|', '/de', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

echo $url;

?>[/code]

With [B]$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'][/B] I get [B]/en/food/hamburger.php[/B], then do the replacement as per above, and the result is [B]/de/food/hamburger.php[/B].

If you use/want a different method just say.

Like this?

<img src="linktoimage" <phpcodehere>/> ?

Have you got something already written that needs looking at, or is this currently just a concept you want to try?

@leatesauthorJan 14.2012 — I need a button, (German flag icon) that when clicked, it links to the same file, just in the /de/ directory. So for example, if I'm on www.site.com/en/directory/page.php, and I click the German flag icon, it gets the part of the URL after /en/, and puts it after www.site.com/de/, and takes the user there.

@bionoidJan 14.2012 — Well, you could do it like this:

[code=php]<?php

echo
'<a href="' . preg_replace('|^/[^/]+|', ('/' . 'de'), $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . '">' .
'<img src="[linktoimage]" alt="" />' .
'</a>';

?>[/code]

It would be nice to know where you're getting the current url from so I can do things properly ?
