Get Public Id from URL

[darkshadowlho]

Hi, I want a function that get an image public id of url image that I has uploaded to cloudinary.

I uploaded many image manually, not from laravel. There are many of image that I uploaded, cause I don't know how to store it to database, so I just store the url of the image uploaded in a column, but now I want to make function that can delete the image from application I make.

I read the function of image is must know the public id of that image right?, but column that I just store is just the url, so how can I make function that can delete from url or function that I can get the public id from url

Any help is appreciated, many thanks

Hi @darkshadowlho

If your url is of the form https://res.cloudinary.com/jdcloudder/image/upload/v1558314941/smokach3k4nlq16njthl.jpg the public id will be smokach3k4nlq16njthl in that case.

So a simple regex or multiple explode calls should be enough to give you the public ids of your uploaded pictures.
