How to get id from seo friendly url using php?

How do i get the id of the user from seo friendly url开发者_如何学C?

Here's the url (1 is the id)

http://www.website.com/users/edit/1

And, if the url is http://www.website.com/users/edit/1/stack-overflow/ in this case how do i find the id?

I am trying to get it as <?php user = User::find($_GET['id']); ?> but id doesn't work.

<?php 
$url = explode("/",($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])); 
print_r($url); 
?>

In your case $url[2] should have the ID that you are after...

The best way to accomplish this is using .htaccess and mod_rewrite to assign the $_GET variables:

.htaccess:

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^users/edit/(.*)/(.*)$ users/edit/?user_id=$1&somethingelse=$2 [L,NC]

Then in your php script:

$user_id = $_GET['user_id'];
$somethingelse = $_GET['somethingelse'];

Uhm... I think you should tell us more about the class or framework you are using... But whatever you are doing can't work at all. Because $_GET would only contain something if you would actually pass parameters in the ?id=123 way in the url... So this find will search for nothing because $_GET is empty.

Parse the super global $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], which will contain something like users/edit/1/stack-overflow/, with regex or substr and strpos
