Would you like this to be the case for every link i.e

 

www.ananova.com = ananova

www.ministryofsound.com = ministryofsound

 

?????????????????

[Vivid Lust]

be able to delete http://www.  untill the next "."

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

<?php

$string = "http://www.google.com";

$link = explode(".",$string);

echo $link[1];

// This will bring back ---- google
