Regular Expression to remove http://

[Mr Chris]

Hello, I'm trying to get together a regular expression to remove http:// if it exists in a url string:

 

<?php
   $web_url = "http://www.wewebbbywebsiteshere.com";
   $website = preg_replace('/^(http¦ftp¦news)s?:\/+/i', '', $web_url);
   echo $website;
?>

 

Anyone help as the above does not seem to work?

 

Thanks

If http:// is all your really looking to remove you don't need regular expressions.

 

$str = str_replace('http://', '', $str);

You want to use a solid pipe (|) rather than a broken pipe (¦).
