Parse URI

I want to pull part of the URI out to dictate what is pulled from the
database. For example, I want to control what year data is displayed
with a url like this: http://www.mysite.com/display.php?year=2007

I want to pull out the 2007. I can grab the uri, but what is the best
way to pull out just the 2007?

See parse and parse_url function in PHP manual.

$url = 'http://www.mysite.com/display.php?yea r=2007';
$querystring = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
$querydata = array();
parse_str($quer ystring, $querydata);
if(isset($query data['year'])) echo "Year is:".$querydat a['year'];

Do you just have a URL in a string or is it the URL of the actual
request? If it's the URL of the request, that value would be in:

$_GET['year']

If it's in a string the other solutions posted here should work.

Yes, it is the URL of the request. LOL I thought it would be harder
than this. I was overthinking it. Thanks.

Hi, I need to read a big CSV file, where different fields should be converted to different types, such as int, double, datetime, SqlMoney, etc. I have an array, which describes the fields and their types. I would like to somehow store a reference to parsing operations in this array (such as Int32.Parse, Double.Parse, SqlMoney.Parse, etc), so I can invoke the appropriate one without writing a long switch.

How do you parse a currency string to a decimal? I'd like to avoid having to parse the number out, removing the $ manually. That sounds like a hack. There are times that this string will be currency and others when it will be a text integer or decimal. //This bombs because of the string having an improper format. Decimal.Parse("$9,200.00") Thanks in advance! Mark

I have put my users through so much crap with this bug it is an absolute shame. I have a product that reads/writes RSS 2.0 documents, among other things. The RSS 2.0 spec mandates an en-US style of date formatting (RFC 822). I have been using a variation of RFC 1123 (just change the time zone to an offset, i.e. "-0800"). It seems to be writing okay, but it's failing to parse. I've tried changing the regional & language settings in my...

I would like to get something like this to work... Type t = FindMyType(); // might be int, float, double, etc string s = "1233"; object v = t.Parse(s); This doesn't work of couse, Parse is not a member of Type. I have to think that this is possible. Is it?

I'm sure there's a good explanation for this, but I can't figure it out. I tried using DateTime.Parse() with a custom DateTimeFormatInfo instance, in which I'd replaced the DateTimeFormatInfo.FullDateTimePattern property with my custom format string: DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = (DateTimeFormatInfo)DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantCulture.Clone(); dtfi.FullDateTimePattern = "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss zzz";

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
