how to remove this string using regex

[smansakra]

look,
i have a variable that contain dynamic value,

for example i have $url,
sometimes, this $url contain a value : http://mysite.com/index.php
sometimes, this $url contain a value : http://mysite.com/index.php/login/

i just want to replace "index.php" and "index.php/"
so the result like below:
http://mysite.com/
http://mysite.com/login/

i have just used str_replace("index.php", "",$url) but it doesnt solve my problem

Try:

$url = str_replace("index.php", "", $url); 

[smansakra]

Your code just result like below
http://mysite.com/
http://mysite.com//login/

i want like this
http://mysite.com/
http://mysite.com/login/

how can i do this?

[JShor]

Wait, why didn't you just add the forward slash in the removal attribute?

Try this?

$url = str_replace("/index.php", "", $url); 

[smansakra]

Your last code will be like below
http://mysite.com
http://mysite.com/login/

but i want the code like below
http://mysite.com/
http://mysite.com/login/

:'(

????

Try this...

$url = str_replace("index.php/", "", $url); 

Please read this. It will teach you how to use str_replace().
http://php.net/str_replace

[smansakra]

that will return

http://mysite.com/index.php
http://mysite.com/login/


i want
http://mysite.com/
http://mysite.com/login/

how?

Try, this will do any address not just login

$url = preg_replace("/(.*?\.com/)(.*)\..*/", "$1$2/", $url);

You may want to test your pcre before posting bluewalrus. Or if you are not going to test then say that you have not tested it yet.

I have not done pcre in a while, but try the following:

<?php
$url="http://mysite.com/login/";
$url=preg_replace('/(http:\/\/mysite\.com)(.*?(\/login\/))/',"$1$3",$url);
echo "$url";
?>

I know the above is very sloppy, but I am not aware of all of the parameters of smansakra's $url variable.

This code makes several assumptions about what is contained in $url, but try it out and if you need what I posted to be modified let us know.

@bluewalrus and @james348: Thanks for reply i have tried both of your code, but doesn't work,

this is my code:

<?
function menu_top(){
    $domain = "http://www.mysite.ext"; //can be mysite.com, mysite.us, mysite.co.id, mysite.web.id, and so on
    $menu = array(
        'Home' => $domain,
        'People' => $domain.'/people/',
        'News' => $domain.'/news/',
        'Blog' => $domain.'/blog/'
    );
    $current_page = $domain.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    //this current page always return something like http://www.mysite.ext/index.php/mypage/
    //sometimes return http://www.mysite.ext/index.php
    //
    //home link, in menu shows http://www.mysite.ext/ , but in current_page return http://www.mysite.ext/index.php
    //people link, in menu show http://www.mysite.ext/people/, but in current_page return http://www.mysite.ext/incex.php/people/
    //and the other link are too
    //
    /*
     so, i want a regex to remove index.php from $current_page,
     like:
     http://mysite.com/
     http://mysite.com/people/
    
     not like:
     http://mysite.com/
     http://mysite.com//people/ 
     
     not like:
     http://mysite.com
     http://mysite.com/people/
    */
    $ret ='<ul>';
    foreach($menu as $link_text => $link_url){
        
        if( $current_page == $link_url)
            $ret .='<li class="link_active">'.$link_text.'</li>';
        else
            $ret .='<li><a href="'.$link_url.'">'.$link_text.'</a></li>';
    }
    $ret .='</ul>';
   
    return $ret;
}
?>
