    <p>I need some help I have written the following preg_replace. The idea of the script is to get the language name from the domain name:</p> <p>If I have a </p> <pre><code>http://www.domainname.com/nl/this/is/a/test/index.asp </code></pre> <p>I would like to strip the <code>(nl)</code> part from the domain name. The nl is a variable for languages so it could be:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.domainname.com/nl/this/is/a/test/index.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainname.com/nl/this/is/a/test/index.asp</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.domainname.com/fr/this/is/a/test/index.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainname.com/fr/this/is/a/test/index.asp</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.domainname.com/de/this/is/a/test/index.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainname.com/de/this/is/a/test/index.asp</a></li> </ul> <p>The above domains represents language directories...</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $sitename = "http://" .$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]; $pagename = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."this/is/a/test"; $language = "\/..\/"; $language1 = preg_replace("/$language/", "$1", "$pagename"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <ul> <li>I am only using the script where I know there will be a language directory.</li> <li>The script above also removes the this/a/test/ the (is) from the url. (which tells me the script is greedy.</li> </ul> <p>What would be the best method to grab the language from the url?</p> <p>Can someone please provide me with some guidence.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>This is the script I came up using the advice below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $mainurl = "http://" .$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]; $fullpagename = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; $mainlanguage = preg_replace('%^/(\w+?)/.*$%', '$1', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); $strippedpagename = preg_replace("/$mainlanguage\//", '$1', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); ?&gt; &lt;?php echo "Full URL: ".$mainurl ?&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;?php echo "Full Page Name: ".$fullpagename ?&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;?php echo "Language: ".$mainlanguage ?&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;?php echo "Page Name No Language: ".$strippedpagename ?&gt;&lt;br&gt; </code></pre> <p>Exactly what I needed, or is there a more elegant way?</p>

    1. COmaybe I'm wrong, but it looks like you are really just replacing $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] with $language...if that is the case, why not just use $language in your $pagename assignment to begin with?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
