I want to grab the last dynamic numbers of an external URL.
https://data.aboss.com/v1/agency/1001/101010/events/xxxxxx
$url = https://data.aboss.com/v1/agency/1001/101010/events/;
$value = substr($url, strrpos($url, '/') + 1);
value="<?php echo $value; ?>"
result should be xxxxxx.
There are many ways to do this, the simplest one-liner would be to use explode:
echo explode("/events/", $url)[1];
Or if something may come after 'events/xxxxxx':
$url = "https://data.aboss.com/v1/agency/1001/101010/events/1524447/other/123456";
echo explode("/", explode("/events/", $url)[1])[0]; // 1524447
You can also use a regex with preg_match
:
$url = "https://data.aboss.com/v1/agency/1001/101010/events/1524447/other/123456";
$matches = [];
preg_match("~/events/(\d+)~", $url, $matches); // captures digits after "/events/"
echo($matches[1]); // 1524447
