removing query strings from canonical URL

I use PHP to echo the current URL in <link rel="canonical" href="URL" /> on my static website, but unfortunately it also echoes query strings along with it.

http://www.example.com?querystring gets echoed in canonical, and I'm trying to find a away to echo URLs ignoring query strings and whatever follows it.

I am currently using .

Is there a way I can declare all the necessary code for this once in a global template, and simply echo $url wherever I require the URL without query strings?

use request.forwardURI to set canonical uri, it removes the query string paramaters

for example you can use parse_url and re-build your query 

$url = "http://www.example.com?querystring";

$newUrl = parse_url($url);

echo "http://".$newUrl['host'].$newUrl['path'];

etc

Let's say you ahve your URL in variable. Then we will explode the url with delimiter "?" and then echo only the first index of returned array:

$url = http://www.example.com?querystring;
$array = explode("?", $url);
$yourUrl = $array[0];

There you go
