How to get file name from url without $_GET variable?

Question

http://localhost/mc/site-01-up/index.php?c=lorem-ipsum

$address = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$stack = explode('/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$file = array_pop($stack);
echo $file;

result - index.php?c=lorem-ipsum

How to get just file name (index.php) without $_GET variable, using array_pop if possible?

Another method that can get the filename is by using parse_url — Parses a URL and return its components

<?php
$url = "http://localhost/mc/site-01-up/index.php?c=lorem-ipsum";
$data = parse_url($url);
$array = explode("/",$data['path']);
$filename = $array[count($array)-1];
var_dump($filename);

Result

index.php

One way of doing it would be to simply get the basename() of the file and then strip-out all the Query Part using regex or better still simply do pass the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] result to the basename() Function. Both will yield the same result though the 2nd approach seems a little more intuitive.

<?php

    $fileName  = preg_replace("#\?.*$#", "", basename("http://localhost/mc/site-01-up/index.php?c=lorem-ipsum"));
    echo $fileName;  // DISPLAYS: index.php

    // OR SHORTER AND SIMPLER:
    $fileName   = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
    echo $fileName;  // DISPLAYS: index.php

Try this, not tested:

    $file = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
    $parts = Explode('/', $file);
    $file = $parts[count($parts) - 1];
    echo $file;

I will follow parse_url() like below (easy to understand):-

<?php
$url = 'http://localhost/mc/site-01-up/index.php?c=lorem-ipsum';

$url=   parse_url($url);
print_r($url); // to check what parse_url() will outputs
$url_path = explode('/',$url['path']); // explode the path part
$file_name =  $url_path[count($url_path)-1]; // get last index value which is your desired result

echo $file_name;
?>

Output:- https://eval.in/606839

Note:- tested with your given URL. Check for other type of URL's at your end. thanks.

If you are trying to use the GET method without variable name, another option would be using the $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]

http://something.com/index.php?=somestring

$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] would return "somestring"
