Preg_Split Question

PHP
1

I want to use preg_split to split this URL up and return the part in red so split it up by the forward slash

http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/[COLOR=“Red”]_ZSTQad4Svs[/COLOR]/hqdefault.jpg

Not great with regular expressions so any help would be great.

Cheers

Martin

Unless there are any other requirements/considerations, you could probably do without a RegEx here. :slight_smile:


<?php
$url = 'http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/_ZSTQad4Svs/hqdefault.jpg';

print_r(
  explode('/', parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH))
);

/*
  Array
  (
      [0] => 
      [1] => vi
      [2] => _ZSTQad4Svs
      [3] => hqdefault.jpg
  )
*/

Thanks for the speedy reply I actually pasted the wrong URL

I need to split the id from the url which is highlighted in red.

<?php
$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrP20x0q7Q';

parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $parts);

print_r($parts);

/*
  Array
  (
      [v] => VCrP20x0q7Q
  )
*/

?>
