[SOLVED] top domain from string

[Guest]

How can I get the domain http://www.whatever.com from a string that contains http://www.whatever.com/site/what.php

I think its $BASEDIR, or some spin off of that.

I need it to pull the domain out of the string though

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

I need it to out of a string that contains an address not the address bar.

You'll need to use a regular expression, likely.

 

Or you can check if the first substring is http:// then just go to the next /, and that is http://www.domain.com/

If it's not, it's just www.domain.com

oops, sorry, misread what u needed.

 

<?php

$url = "http://www.whatever.com/site/what.php";
$domain = substr($url, strpos($url, "//")+2, strlen($url));
$domain = substr($domain, 0, strpos($domain, "/"));
$domain = "http://".$domain;
echo $domain;

?>
