Getting the HTTP Referrer domain

Anon

Not sure if there is a better way of doing this.

I need to put some code on each page of a site that will take the http referrer and extract the domain name for checking in an affiliate program.

I imagine this is a pretty common thing, like checking the validity of an email address, but I've not achieved it successfully with string commands yet.

I would like to get domain out of

http://abc.domain.com/this_and_that/whatever.php

http://domain.org/more_here/whatever/funghi.xml

I need an apple to hit me on the head, I think.

You should use the split() function ;

look there :

I would recommend using the very handy dandy function : parse_url();
