Getting relative URL out of an absolute one

[mike809]

I'd like to parse the URL part after TLD. In another words I'm interested in the bold part http://bytes.com/submit/304/ of this URL.
Let's assume that all the URLs are valid and formally flawless.
It seems to me one way is to make a regular expression like this: "anything, dot, 2 to 4 letters, slash, anything". The Regexp might look like this:

$regexp = '@.+\.[a-z]{2,4}\/(.+)@si';

Is my thinking correct or am I overlooking something?

This has already been done for you...

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Cheers,

Doesn't it work with the current URL only, that means the one which the script is called from? I need it to be done with strings stored in an array.
