Get Post ID from Tumblr URL in PHP

This little code snippet can be used to get ID of a Tumblr post if you have URL of post, no matter if there is unique slug at the end (http://staff.tumblr.com/post/122809548365/apologies-for-the-disruption-some-of-you) or not (http://staff.tumblr.com/post/122809548365), or if it’s on custom domain (http://van-life.net/post/120576266146/thecindercone-a-video-i-made-with-some-help).

Can be useful when you have to deal with Tumblr API.

$full_url = 'http://staff.tumblr.com/post/122809548365/apologies-for-the-disruption-some-of-you';
$path = parse_url( $full_url, PHP_URL_PATH );
$path_components = explode( '/', trim( $path, '/' ) );
$tumblr_post_id = $path_components[1];
