PHP - get certain word from string

If i have a string like this:

$myString = "input/name/something";

How can i get the name to be echoed? Every string looks like that except that name and something could be different.

If you only need "name"

list(, $name, ) = explode('/', $myString);
echo "name is '$name'";

If you want all, then

list($input, $name, $something) = explode('/', $myString);

use the function explode('/') to get an array of array('input', 'name', 'something'). I'm not sure if you mean you have to detect which element is the one you want, but if it's just the second of three, then use that.

so the only thing you know is that :

  • it starts after input
  • it separated with forward slashes.

$strArray = explode('/',$myString);
$name = $strArray[1];
$something = $strArray[2];

Try this:

$parts = explode('/', $myString);
echo $parts[1];

This will split your string at the slashes and return an array of the parts. Part 1 is the name.
