PHP, Delete parts of a URL variable [duplicate]

Answer 1

$parts = explode('?', $currentUrl);
$url = $parts[0];

Answer 2

Something like this:

<?php
$currentUrl = 'http://example.com/test-category/page.html?_ore=norn&___frore=norian';

preg_match('~http:\/\/.*\.html~', $currentUrl, $matches);
print_r($matches);

See amigura's comment below. To handle that case change the regex:

<?php
$currentUrl = 'http://example.com/test-category/page.html?_ore=norn&___frore=norian';

preg_match('~(http:\/\/.*\..+)\?~', $currentUrl, $matches);
print_r($matches);

Answer 3

With PHP's parse_url()

<?php 
$url = "http://example.com/test-category/page.html?_ore=norn&___frore=norian";
$url = parse_url($url);

print_r($url);
/*
Array
(
    [scheme] => http
    [host] => example.com
    [path] => /test-category/page.html
    [query] => _ore=norn&___frore=norian
)
*/
?>

Then you can build your desired url from the values.

$clean_url = $url['scheme'].'://'.$url['host'].$url['path'];
