[SOLVED] Strip name

[timmah1]

I have a form that inserts domain names into a database field.

 

The domain name could be simple (http://www.test.com/hi/) or complex (http://cgi.ljx.com/cgi-bin/memo/show?articleid=hunton,23)

 

When I pull this information from the database, how can I just show the domain (http://www.test.com or http://www.ljx.com)?

 

Thanks in advance!

<?php
$url = 'http://cgi.ljx.com/cgi-bin/memo/show?articleid=hunton,23';
$url_info = parse_url($url);
echo $url_info['scheme'], '://', $url_info['host'];
// http://cgi.ljx.com
?>

<?php
//chanhe domainname to the form data you want
$url = echo $_POST['domainname'];
$url_info = parse_url($url);
echo $url_info['scheme'], '://', $url_info['host'];
// Getting form data
?>

Exactly what I was trying to do thebadbad.

 

I'm know starting to understand parse_url after seeing a working example

 

Thank you.
