get_permalink to output just the path?

    Hi, I’m editing my search.php file and I’d like to display as part of the search results the URL of each result since our site hierarchy is a little crazy but would be informative for our users. But I’d like it to just print
    “/resources/library/kids” instead of “http://www.mydomain.org/resources/library/kids”.

    I saw someone else use str_replace on get_permalink for their issue, so I guess I should be trying to change the permalink string somehow – I don’t know PHP but I sure can copy and paste. This will only be my own site search, so the part I want to remove will always be the same thing, same length…if that helps.

    Try doing following

    // specify id if you are using outside post loop
// otherwise keep it as get_permalink()
$permalink = get_permalink( $id );

// printing output
echo str_replace( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' , '', $permalink );

    See if this helps!

    Cool. A friend commended your solution as elegant. I played with what you gave me a bit a finally settled on this: 

    Posted in <?php // printing output
echo str_replace( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) , '...', get_permalink( ) );
?>

    Thanks a bunch.
