Parse URI

[mtuller]

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.
