Thanks for advice, but this is not exactly what I need. I'll try to
explain it better:
Regular expression I need has to search through path or URL and find
every reference to a parent directory, including this parent directory.
For example if I have URL like this:
http://www.example.com/mydir/../myotherdir
RE is supposed to match /mydir/../ so I can replace it by a single slash
and get "definite" URL.
I have built a regexp to achieve this:
ereg_replace('/[^/]+/\.\./', '/', $url);
Problem of this RE appears in case of URL like this:
http://www.example.com/level1/level2/level3/level4/../../../../target
This URL is pointing to http://www.example.com/target, but ereg_replace
above will give me
http://www.example.com/level1/level2/level3/../target. After looped
ereg_replace I get URL http://www.example.com/level1/level2/target which
is wrong.
I need to modify this part of RE: /[^/]+/
Now it says "match any string if it doesn't contain a slash" and I need
it to say "match any string if it doesn't contain a slash and it is not
..." and I need it to be a part of a RE above.
