How to get the 'domain' part in www.domain.com/net/org?

[ivytony]

I am able to get the 'domain' part from a domain like www.domain.com using below code. I wonder if there's any more efficient way to do this. Thanks

 

<?php

function str_between($string, $start, $end){ 
$string = " ".$string; $ini = strpos($string,$start); 
if ($ini == 0) return ""; $ini += strlen($start); $len = 
strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini; 
return substr($string,$ini,$len); 
}

$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/path?arg=value#anchor';

$domain = str_between($url, ".", ".");
echo $domain;
?>

echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]

 

that should be what you need

You should be able to use explode, something like:

explode('.', $urlhere);

Then the second value in the array should be your domain. Would split up like:

0 - http://www

1 - youtube

2 - com/path?etcetc

thanks guys! the explode function works very well

 

but what if the $url is 'youtube.com/path?arg=value#anchor' without the www part?

echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]
