read part of a url

[th1chsn]

I'm trying to extract only a middle section from a URL. In the example below I would want the variable to return "whatever".

domain.com/whatever/page.php

Can someone help me with the syntax on how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

You can split your URL into peaces like this:

$path_array = explode("/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

Debug your result like this:

echo "<pre>"; var_dump($path_array); echo "</pre>";

Depending on your server configuration $path_array[1] should return "whatever".
