Simplification? Maybe possible?

[GrumpyYoungMan]

Code: [Select]

     // Initial Page Setup:
    $page = (!array_key_exists('page', array_flip(REQUEST)) ? 1 : REQUEST[array_search('page', array_keys(array_flip(REQUEST)))+1] );

    $pageSetup = [
        'previous' => $page-1,
        'current' => $page,
        'next' => $page+1,
        'start' => ($page-1) * resultsPerPage,
    ];

Trying to get the page number from a url formatted as:

Code: [Select]

https://myURL/some/path/to/page/2/

I am searching the array for the 'page' array position so I don't have to always rely on the position of the request.

REQUEST is coming from Jason's function:

Code: [Select]

(function() {
    $path = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
    if (strpos($path, '..')) die('Hacking Attempt Detected, Aborting');
    $path = str_replace(['\\', '%5C'], '/', substr(
        $path,
        strlen(pathinfo($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], PATHINFO_DIRNAME))
    ));

    if (empty($path))
        define('REQUEST', [ 'index' ]);
    else {
        $path = explode('/', $path);
        foreach ($path as &$p) $p = urldecode($p);
        define('REQUEST', $path);
    }
})();

Not understanding at ALL what you're trying to do with that array, much less why you'd flip it.
