 preg_match ($pattern, $subject, $matches);
 return $matches;

blegh ('somePage.php?action=doSomething&id=');
?>

Ok, the important parts that I need to obtain from this are:

somePage
doSomething

How can you modify the pattern above to grab the action appropriately? 
Sorry, my regex is a lil rusty!

Thanks in advance,

That regex might not always work for you, (&amp;) comes to mind.  You 
might want to look at parse_str() which you can use after parse_url() if 
needed.
