Getting the ID from exploding url

Question

Currently I have the following code.

$file_id = 'https://skyvault.co/show/file?filename=6N2viQpwLKBIA6';
$parts = parse_url($file_id);
$path_parts = explode('/', $parts[path]);
$secret = $path_parts[3];
print $secret;

Above you can see that I am trying to explode by / and it's not returning the output I am looking for it's just returning file and I need it to return 6N2viQpwLKBIA6 so how could I get that ID?

Answer 1

parse_url works but you need to specify the query index. Redo it like this:

$file_id = 'https://skyvault.co/show/file?filename=6N2viQpwLKBIA6';
$parts = parse_url($file_id);
$path_parts = explode('=', $parts['query']);
$secret = $path_parts[1];
print $secret;

Answer 2

Is it possible for you to do it quickly this way, if the URL is always same for all the items?

$URLComp = explode("show/file?filename=", $file_id);
$secret = $URLComp[1];
print $secret;

The main reason is, there could be cases of with or without www, then with or without https.
