String trim and date problem

[bundy]

Hi,
I'm using a referral script on my page and it looks like this

11/07/06, 12:48 www.blablabla.com
11/07/06, 12:31 www.blablabla.org
11/07/06, 12:27 www.blablabla.be
11/07/06, 12:24 www.blablabla.nl
11/07/06, 12:21 www.blablabla.be
11/07/06, 12:18 blablabla.com
11/07/06, 12:13 www.blablabla.com
11/07/06, 12:03 www.blablabla.be
11/07/06, 12:00 blablabla.be
11/07/06, 12:00 www.blablabla.be
[/quote]

is there a way to remove the www. on the referrals (that have one of course).
So in other words I need a script that deletes a certain follow up of chars (in this case www.) in a given string.

have another question about the date this time.
it's generated by this code (it's a phpbb forum)
[code]'LAST' => create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $row['referrer_lastvisit'], $board_config['board_timezone']))
[/code]

is it possible to drop the date and only display the time?
thanks in advance

<?php
$string = "www.test.com";
echo substr_replace($string, '', 0,4);
?>

You can also use plain str_replace()
[code]<?php
$str = 'www.test.com';
echo str_replace('www.','',$str);
?>[/code]

There is no universial rule to strip those www. but you can write a function.

it's simple and safe:

function stripWWW($str)
{
   $pattern = substr($str, 0,4);
   if (strcasecmp($pattern,'www.') == 0)
       return substr($str,4);
   else return $str;
}

echo stripWWW('www.google.com'); // echo google.com
echo stripWWW('google.com'); // echo google.com
echo stripWWW('www.www.net'); // echo www.net
