I'm creating a site and would like to make a system of profiles of type:
meusite.com/NICKUSUARIO .
And I would like to know how to get this nick in the URL and move to the profile.php file for example.
I know how to use ?nick=nickuser , but I would like to make it more user-friendly to type having to only put meusite.com/nickusuario .
Just use parse_url to interpret a URL and return its components , and later the trim function to remove /
$parse = parse_url( 'http://www.meusite.com/NICKUSUARIO' );
echo trim( $parse['path'] , '/' );
The code above returns only NICKUSUARIO .
Update
The full URL you get using 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
I think you're trying to create friendly URLs, right?
For this, you can create a .htaccess file and set it up so that the text after the bar is interpreted as a GET parameter, then to receive it in PHP you usually use $_GET (in the case $_GET['nick'] ), as if the url were actually ?nick=nickuser .
It would look like this:
RewriteEngine On
#Reescrita de URL
#Na linha abaixo será definido que o parâmetro nick poderá receber letras e números
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ profile.php?nick=$1
PHP file , you would normally receive:
<?php
echo $_GET['nick'];
?>
In the case of the url accessed be 'profile.php / testName' or 'profile.php? nick = testName' the result will be the display of:
testeNome
$parse = parse_url( 'http://www.meusite.com/NICKUSUARIO' );
$value = trim( $parse['path'] , '/' );
Your url would be fixed and the user would just type what comes after /,
ex: http://www.meusite.com/stack
your $ value variable would have the value you need there is only you use it as you want,
ex: <?php header("location:user.php?nick=".$value);?>
To simplify , I believe that doing so will resolve in the case:
$value = trim($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'],'/');
There are other ways ...
a) Using parse_url() :
$parse = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$value = trim( $parse['path'] , '/' );
b) Using preg_replace() :
$value = preg_replace('/(.+).com\/(.*)/','$2', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
