PHP: Get a part from a path

Question

I got a string, which gives me the location of something:

/var/www/web1/htdocs The problem is: The last part could possibly change: It could also be /var/www/web1/public_html or /var/www/web1/httpdocs.

Now I would like to get the path without the last part of the path:

/var/www/web1

How can I do that?

Answer 1

As far as i understand your question, you need something like this

$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //your URL or PATH ENTERED BY USER.
$parts = explode('/',$url);
print_r($parts);

Answer 2

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

insert code file index.php

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"<br>",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],"<br>",$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'],'<br>',$_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"],"<br>",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
