    <p>Ok, to remove all variables, maybe the prettiest is </p> <pre><code>$url = strtok($url, '?'); </code></pre> <p>See about <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtok.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>strtok</code> here</a>.</p> <p>Its the fastest (see below), and handles urls without a '?' properly.</p> <p>To take a url+querystring and remove just one variable (without using a regex replace, which may be faster in some cases), you might do something like:</p> <pre><code>function removeqsvar($url, $varname) { list($urlpart, $qspart) = array_pad(explode('?', $url), 2, ''); parse_str($qspart, $qsvars); unset($qsvars[$varname]); $newqs = http_build_query($qsvars); return $urlpart . '?' . $newqs; } </code></pre> <p>A regex replace to remove a single var might look like:</p> <pre><code>function removeqsvar($url, $varname) { return preg_replace('/([?&amp;])'.$varname.'=[^&amp;]+(&amp;|$)/','$1',$url); } </code></pre> <p>Heres the timings of a few different methods, ensuring timing is reset inbetween runs.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $number_of_tests = 40000; $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $starttime = $mtime; for($i = 0; $i &lt; $number_of_tests; $i++){ $str = "http://www.example.com?test=test"; preg_replace('/\\?.*/', '', $str); } $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $endtime = $mtime; $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); echo "regexp execution time: ".$totaltime." seconds; "; $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $starttime = $mtime; for($i = 0; $i &lt; $number_of_tests; $i++){ $str = "http://www.example.com?test=test"; $str = explode('?', $str); } $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $endtime = $mtime; $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); echo "explode execution time: ".$totaltime." seconds; "; $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $starttime = $mtime; for($i = 0; $i &lt; $number_of_tests; $i++){ $str = "http://www.example.com?test=test"; $qPos = strpos($str, "?"); $url_without_query_string = substr($str, 0, $qPos); } $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $endtime = $mtime; $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); echo "strpos execution time: ".$totaltime." seconds; "; $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $starttime = $mtime; for($i = 0; $i &lt; $number_of_tests; $i++){ $str = "http://www.example.com?test=test"; $url_without_query_string = strtok($str, '?'); } $mtime = microtime(); $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; $endtime = $mtime; $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); echo "tok execution time: ".$totaltime." seconds; "; </code></pre> <p>shows</p> <pre><code>regexp execution time: 0.14604902267456 seconds; explode execution time: 0.068033933639526 seconds; strpos execution time: 0.064775943756104 seconds; tok execution time: 0.045819044113159 seconds; regexp execution time: 0.1408839225769 seconds; explode execution time: 0.06751012802124 seconds; strpos execution time: 0.064877986907959 seconds; tok execution time: 0.047760963439941 seconds; regexp execution time: 0.14162802696228 seconds; explode execution time: 0.065848112106323 seconds; strpos execution time: 0.064821004867554 seconds; tok execution time: 0.041788101196289 seconds; regexp execution time: 0.14043688774109 seconds; explode execution time: 0.066350221633911 seconds; strpos execution time: 0.066242933273315 seconds; tok execution time: 0.041517972946167 seconds; regexp execution time: 0.14228296279907 seconds; explode execution time: 0.06665301322937 seconds; strpos execution time: 0.063700199127197 seconds; tok execution time: 0.041836977005005 seconds; </code></pre> <p>strtok wins, and is by far the smallest code.</p>
