cutting URL

I have link likes this
www.mysite.com/site/110/99
www.mysite.com/site/121/99
www.mysite.com/site/411/99

Is someone know a way that a global will return the 99 number.

I mean the URL is like
www.mysite.com/site/y/x
when y in number that change (details ID) and x is not change(catid).

Hi,

Could do it one of 2 ways:

1) Make a new global - get_end_number

Code:

Code:
sub { 
 my $foo = $_[0]; 
     $foo =~ s/\/$//; 
 my @tmp = split /\//, $foo; 
 return $tmp[$#tmp]; 
}

Call with:

<%get_end_number($URL)%>

...or:

1) Make a new global - get_end_number

Code:

Code:
sub { 
 if ($_[0]=~ m/\/([0-9]+)/) { return $1;  } 
}

Call with:

<%get_end_number($URL)%>

Both though do the same thing :)

Cheers

Hi,

Mmm.. you sure the URL being passed in doesn't look more like:

url.com/1234/99/

(i.e the / at the end) ???

I've added a couple more lines in - just in case thats what the problem is.

The second global should be fixed too - cos I didn't test them Wink
