replace cdn

[php_begins]

I retrieve urls that have the following path

$url=http://cdn.test1.com

$url=http://cdn.test2.com and so on...

i want to to do a string replace such that it displays http://test.com,http://test2.com and son without the cdn part.

Will the following work for all cases?

$url=str_replace("cdn.","",$url);

Yes. And probably for cases that you don't want it to.

thanks..wat if i want to replace the cdns only at the start of the url?

You could search for http://cdn....

I tried something like this but didnt seem to wrk.

 

$url=preg_replace( 'http://cdn.','http://',$url);

Don't use preg_replace() unless you have a regular expression. Which you don't. Go back to str_replace().

i feel stupid now..all i need to do was this..

$url=str_replace("http://cdn.","http://",$url);
