[PHP TUT] Explode and showing paths.

[RYANNNNN]

I use explode in a function that gets the search term from referring search engines.

Congratulations?

I am pretty sure this thread is not about showing search terms, it is a tutorial about exploding a URL and making a "primitive" breadcrumb with it.

Nothing about search engines and what you do with them?

Real life uses!?!???!

Hmm:
Habbox UK Forum > Technology + The Web > Designing & Development [PHP TUT] Explode and showing paths.
enough said? obviously harder to do using url vars but ya know.

Although Simon already said this I will repeat it maybe with a little more clarity. A forum uses a system of 'make-believe' folders and sub-folders. What you pasted there does not use the explode() function.

Well... it's a thread about 'Explode and showing paths' which would be quite relevant if the referring search engines send a query in the form of a url (eg. 'http://yoursite.com/search/your+term+here'). Try and be a little more positive people

That is just a breadcrumb of the specific forums it is in.

Forum Title -> Parent -> Sub-Forum -> Thread

But it isn't a thread about explode in general?

The whole reason of a "breadcrumb" is to allow easier navigation, just like parent folders in a file system.


Example:
/images/bob

Parent Folder - /images/
File1 - PNG
File2 - GIF
Folder2 - /images/bob/hello


So if a search engine is sending queries to your site, its really not going to matter, as that search engine is the only thing that sees it.

If a search engine is sending you to a search page on your site.. and it is a search engine like vBulletins, its not going to matter, as those are based on search ids, and it will just give you an error.

I already said I was wrong about the breadcrumbs for forums, but it re enacts that

I think you misunderstood me... I was the one pointing out to you that it was a thread about explode in general His comment would just be helpful to give another example of where explode can be used.

Thank you.

Infact, my response was to Scriptz as he asked about proper uses. Please read through the read first instead of trying to make me look like a fool, because the only fool around here is you.

What have I ever done to you?

Back when I was Dentafrice you never said nothing to me.

If you would like to "e-argue" feel free to PM me.

If you were directing that at someone, there is a quote feature.

the same as

echo($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
