[PHP TUT] Explode and showing paths.

[Hypertext]

Today I'm going to show you about how to explode a path, eg example.com/dir/extra/link/etc.php becomes Dir Extra Link Etc. Essentially making it easy to build on to become Dir --> Extra --> Link --> Etc. Etc
Heres the code:

<?php
$path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; // returns /home/attack/kill/etc.php

$valuesArray = explode("/",$path); // exploding the path

/* returns:
 $valuesArray[0] = ""
 $valuesArray[1] = "home"
 $valuesArray[2] = "attack"
 $valuesArray[3] = "kill"
 $valuesArray[4] = "etc.php" // arrays
*/

foreach ($valuesArray as $value){

  $name = explode(".",$value); // exploding again
  echo $name[0]; // echoing the path part w/o

   if($name[1] == ""){ 
   echo " &nbsp; &gt; &nbsp;"; // checking the path.
   }
}

?>

Enjoy!

Nice tutorial, although some real-life uses for it may have also helped - but overall good work. +Rep

Either I am too tired to spot it, or something (been working for the past 20 hours)

You forgot to upper case the directory

Real life uses!?!???!

Hmm:

enough said? obviously harder to do using url vars but ya know.

Dude, that doesn't use explode to parse variables...

The information is grabbed from an SQL Database which has no relevance to what you posted..

Ye, like a MyBB board adds to the breadcrumb what ever it is. You dont see the link of this forum as

Do you?

[--ss--]

What exactly does it do?

What exactly does it do?

I don't know but something completely ******ed by the looks of it.

That would end up not showing file extensions which are pretty useful to have :rolleyes:

And if you have a directory, e.g suspended.page/ then it wouldn't show .page

Yeh its basically showing a nicer looking path. Umm. Yeh I was wrong about the Path but some people do use it, and it can be used sometimes.
