How to Remove Query String From Url In Php? Attributes,html,javascript,Jquery How to Remove Query String From Url In Php?

Today I needed to remove the query string or parameter from the URL. I found this quick function which does exactly what i needed i.e remove query string from URL.

 function remove_qs_key($url, $key) { return preg_replace(‘/(?:&|(\?))’ . $key . ‘=[^&]*(?(1)&|)?/i’, “$1″, $url); } 

For example, if your URL was this:

 $url = http://example.com/test/index?id=55&template=view&format=pdf $key = 'format'; 

The above function would return:

 echo remove_qs_key($url, $key); //output: http://example.com/test/index?id=55&template=view 

All I needed to do was provide the URL and the key to remove -- so easy and simple :)
