Getting the requested "format" from a route

[eluser]Michael Wales[/eluser]

Code:

$format = substr($this->uri->string(), strpos($this->uri->string(), '.'), len($this->uri->string()) - strpos($this->uri->string()));

This should return html or xml from the submitted URI. It may include the period, in which case you can just add 1 to the second substr() parameter (where it uses strpos()).
