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, (&) comes to mind. You
might want to look at parse_str() which you can use after parse_url()
if
needed.
I think /(.*)\.php\?action=([^&]+(?(&)[^&+]+))/ might be a step in the
right direction for RegExing the additional URL query string
parameters.
I haven't tested it... but either way, I thought it was worth
mentioning
that the ".php" part should be "\.php" (or "[.]php"), otherwise it
will
match "any character followed by php."

Good call! I so passed over that one. ;)
