How to remove content from url after question mark. preg_match or preg_replace?

Question

Im working on some function to grab few data from url with simple html dom.

But one of the data is an image and image have question mark and some more info behind it

Answer 1

In a much easier way it could be:

$iWantThisURL = substr($curr_url(), 0, stripos($curr_url, '?'));

Answer 2

Even easier: use explode():

list($uri,) = explode('?', 'http://somesite.com/uploaded/images/8.jpg?m=eSuQKgaaaa&mh=t0i7nVhjZleTJ5Ih');

update

Or simpler yet use strtok and trim:

$uri = trim(strtok('http://somesite.com/uploaded/images/8.jpg?m=eSuQKgaaaa&mh=t0i7nVhjZleTJ5Ih', '?'));

Normally you would use parse_url() for working with URLs but in a case like this, using explode() is simpler to use and serve's your purpose.
