Split a variable at the dot (domain name)

[simonp]

Hi,

 

I need to be able to split a domain name into two variables - the bit before the 'dot' and the bit after eg

 

microsoft.com

 

I need

domain = microsoft

tld = com

 

(there will always be only one 'dot')

 

What's the best way to do this?

 

Thanks

 

Simon

$input = 'microsoft.com';
$domain = strtok($input, '.');
$tld = strtok('');

[OOP]

$url = "microsoft.com";
$url_parts = explode('.',$url);
print_r($url_parts);

As you can see there are many ways to do what you wish.

list($domain,$tld) = explode('.',$url);

if the results of explode could be varying, as if you really dont know how many dots the url would have then an array is good as you can work through it figuring out what you have. If, as you state, the url is a known and constant then it is easier to explode and assign the parts to variables all in one step.
