JURI/setPath

Sets the path part of the URI represented by the JURI object.

Syntax

void setPath( $path )

where:

Argument	Data type	Description	Default
$path	string	Path to be added to the URI. This will replace any existing path.

Note that the path is cleaned before it is placed in the URI object. For example, these transformations would be done:

• /foo/bar/../boo.php => /foo/boo.php
• /foo/bar/../../boo.php => /boo.php
• /foo/bar/.././/boo.php => /foo/boo.php

Example

In this example, a URI object is created and the path is then changed.

$uri = 'http://fredbloggs:itsasecret@www.example.com:8080/path/to/Joomla/index.php?task=view&id=32#anchorthis';
$u =& JURI::getInstance( $uri );
echo 'Before: ' . $u->toString() . "\n";
$u->setPath( '/administrator/components/com_contact/controller.php' );
echo 'After : ' . $u->toString();

would output

Before: http://fredbloggs:itsasecret@www.example.com:8080/path/to/Joomla/index.php?task=view&id=32#anchorthat
After : http://fredbloggs:itsasecret@www.example.com:8080/administrator/components/com_contact/controller.php?task=view&id=32#anchorthat
