[SOLVED] add www. to a string.

[Lamez]

ok I am working on my External Link Checker (http://links.krazypicks.com), by the way, I did get the youtube videos to play . Anyways, in the database I have the urls like this www.site.com, so I wanna check the base URL that is typed in, but some times peeps will type in site.com, instead of adding the www. so is there a function I could use to add the www after http://, if the string does not already contain the www.?

 

-Thanks Guys, I hoped I made myself clear.

Simple.

 

<?php

  if (substr($str,0,4) != 'www.') {
    $str = 'www.'$str;
  }

?>

 

You should try having a go at some of this stuff yourself.

well see I would, I was really asking for a function, like you could have said "take a look at substr()". I am trying to become a better PHP programmer. Thanks anyways
