The best ways is probably a regular expression. You can remove http:// using str_replace because that can only ever appear at the start of the URL, but the 'www' must only be removed if it appears at the start of the URL and ends with a dot. Otherwise you would break domainnames like 'thisismywwwdomain.com'

 

something like:

$strURl = preg_replace('~^www\.~','',$strURI);

A simple example and function.

<?php
function getparsedHost($new_parse_url) {
                        if(!$new_parse_url){
                        return NULL;
                        }
                        if(!preg_match("~://~",$new_parse_url)){
                        $new_parse_url = "http://".$new_parse_url;
                        }
                        $parsedUrl = parse_url(trim(strtolower($new_parse_url)));
                        $parsedUrl = str_replace("www.",'',$parsedUrl);
                        return trim($parsedUrl['host'] ? $parsedUrl['host'] : array_shift(explode('/', $parsedUrl['path'], 2)));
                    }
 
 
//Parsing hosts from array in a loop example:
                  
$url_array = array("google.com","http://google.com","http://images.google.com","google.com/images","ftp://cdn.google.com","HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM","","http://google.co.uk/images","blah.blah.blah.blah");

returns:

 

google.com
google.com
images.google.com
google.com
cdn.google.com
google.com

google.co.uk
blah.blah.blah.blah

 

As can see don't actually check if is a valid top or second level domain, would need to do checking after if needed that.

Also have a function made to get main domains as well, is quite a chunk of code.

No idea why the rest of code didn't post, i surely like the old way here on phpfreaks.

 

 

<?php
function getparsedHost($new_parse_url) {
                        if(!$new_parse_url){
                        return NULL;
                        }
                        if(!preg_match("~://~",$new_parse_url)){
                        $new_parse_url = "http://".$new_parse_url;
                        }
                        $parsedUrl = parse_url(trim(strtolower($new_parse_url)));
                        $parsedUrl = str_replace("www.",'',$parsedUrl);
                        return trim($parsedUrl['host'] ? $parsedUrl['host'] : array_shift(explode('/', $parsedUrl['path'], 2)));
                    }
 
//Parsing hosts from array in a loop example:
                   
$url_array = array("google.com","http://google.com","http://images.google.com","google.com/images","ftp://cdn.google.com","HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM","","http://google.co.uk/images","blah.blah.blah.blah");

Any reason why I can't post the entire code in here mods?

 

<?php
function getparsedHost($new_parse_url) {
                        if(!$new_parse_url){
                        return NULL;
                        }
                        if(!preg_match("~://~",$new_parse_url)){
                        $new_parse_url = "http://".$new_parse_url;
                        }
                        $parsedUrl = parse_url(trim(strtolower($new_parse_url)));
                        $parsedUrl = str_replace("www.",'',$parsedUrl);
                        return trim($parsedUrl['host'] ? $parsedUrl['host'] : array_shift(explode('/', $parsedUrl['path'], 2)));
                    }
                    
//Parsing hosts from array in a loop example:    
    
$url_array = array("google.com","http://google.com","http://images.google.com","google.com/images","ftp://cdn.google.com","HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM","","http://google.co.uk/images","blah.blah.blah.blah");

foreach($url_array as $urls){
echo getparsedHost($urls)."<br />";
}
?>
