using php parse_url function to remove the query string from a url

I recently had to remove the query string from a url, the bit after the ?key=1 or whatever is after the actual url. 

I initially thought i could just use a explode function on the ? which would probably also work and then grab the 1st part of that array, but then i fund the function parse_url which automatically adds the url string into an array that you can access. I think this is probably a safer method of doing this, in case the url does not have a query string, or there is some other kind of error in the url. 

Anyway here is how I used it. 

PHP

$my_url = "https://kruxor.com/?moo=1"; /*we want to remove the ?moo=1 here */
$my_url_parse = parse_url($my_url);
$my_new_url = $my_url_parse['scheme'] . "://" . $my_url_parse['host'] . $my_url_parse['path']; /*now we have to rebuild this string using parts of the parse array */

/* Lets see how it went... */
echo "<b>My Original URL</b><br>";
echo $my_url . "<br>";
echo "<b>My New URL</b><br>";
echo $my_new_url . "<br>";

When I realized that, no individual step is hard in any process. Building this airport I'm standing in right now started with a guy writing the architectural plans on paper. That's not hard for him to do. Then laying the first beam isn't had. The whole thing is really hard. So, just take each step kind of piece by piece and when I was able to do that and stop trying to chase this prize and started putting in the work, things just started coming together.
