[SOLVED] Removing http:// or www or both

[ilikemath2002]

What's the easiest way to remove http://, www, or both from user inputted content?

[.josh]

$string = preg_replace("~(http://|www\.)~","", $string);

might be faster to use two str_replaces though:

 

$remove = array('http://','www.');
foreach($remove as $r) {
   $string = str_replace($r,'',$string);
}

 

You can benchmark it yourself if you really want to know.
