Removing certain text with PHP?

[dominod]

Hi

 

I want this URL:

 

php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php

 

to become

 

php.net

 

using php ..

 

I tried with the explode fuction but couldnt get it to work ...

list ($finalurl, $blabla) = explode('/', $url);

 

Anyone have any tips?

 

Thanks in advance

$a = explode('/',$url);
echo $a[0];

also, look at the parse_url() function
