Something like

<?php
$input_line = "http://example.com/category/post-is-783476?src=mainPage";
preg_match("/([0-9]+)\/?/", $input_line, $output_array);
echo $output_array[1];
?>

Output: 783476

But Sir '**Post-is**' is Different for each url. – Jahid May 29 '17 at 11:01
@Milon this should work for every id. – Pieter De Clercq May 29 '17 at 11:05
I mean The Url is different for every url like http://example.com/category/hello-world-673534?src=mainPage, I just want the numbers from url dynamically. – Jahid May 29 '17 at 11:10
@Milon updated my answer – Pieter De Clercq May 29 '17 at 11:13
`\/?` is totally useless. – Casimir et Hippolyte May 29 '17 at 16:53
Without regex you can also do that: `$result = array_pop(explode('-' ,parse_url($input_line, PHP_URL_PATH)));` – Casimir et Hippolyte May 29 '17 at 20:22
