strip_fragment_from_url() │ WP 4.4.0

Removes the fragment (anchor, hash, #fragment) from the URL. The URL must be passed with the protocol.

When you just need to remove the fragment #fragment from the string (URL) without checking whether there is a protocol or not, you can use one of the following codes. Moreover, they are 5 times faster.

$link = 'page/sub-page#fragment';

// speed on 50000 repetitions
echo strip_fragment_from_url($link);         // 0.060 sec
echo  preg_replace('~#.*~', '', $link);      // 0.014 sec
echo  str_replace('#fragment', '', $link );  // 0.010 sec
echo  substr($link, 0, strpos($link, '#') ); // 0.007 sec

// each line will output to the screen:
// page/sub-page
1 time — 0.000035 sec (very fast) | 50000 times — 0.20 sec (very fast)

No Hooks.

Returns

String. URL without hash.
