php replace string from $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

Question

I want to replace filename from URI. I need this replaced url on webpage. Example: Page url:

https://www.domain.com/...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/abc.php

My code

 echo $uri=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

It returns

...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/abc.php

But I dont need "abc.php". I need like this

...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/

This should be done using php, because I will use it on my webpage. Please suggest me to resolve this.

Answer 1

You could use simple, regular explode & implode to get what you want as shown by the Snippet below. Quick-Test Here.

    <?php

        // ASSUMING THAT $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; RETURNS THE STRING BELOW:
        $uri    =  /*$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];*/ "...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/abc.php";
        $parts  = explode("/", $uri);
        array_pop($parts);
        $uri    = implode("/" , $parts) . "/";
        echo $uri;    //<== YIELDS::: ...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/

Alternatively and even preferably, You could use the basename() Function in combination with str_replace() to achieve the same goal:

    <?php

        // ASSUMING THAT $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; RETURNS THE STRING BELOW:
        $uri        =  /*$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];*/ "...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/abc.php";
        $baseName   =  basename($uri);
        $uri        = str_replace($baseName, "", $uri);
        echo $uri;   //<== YIELDS::: ...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/

In a condensed form:

    <?php

        $uri        =  /*$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];*/ "...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/abc.php";;
        $uri        = str_replace(basename($uri), "", $uri);
        echo $uri;   //<== YIELDS::: ...../india-hotels/dun-hotels/

Answer 2

Enable rewrite module in apache.

Write this in your .htaccess file

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

Answer 3

I resolved it like this

$uri_ar=array();
$uri=($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

if(strpos($uri,'.php')){    
  $uri_ar=explode('/',$uri);

  array_pop($uri_ar);
  $uri=implode('/',$uri_ar);

}
