Recognising characters from an <input…

[nozom]

I would like to know if there is a way i can get php to check what the characters are after a certain character.

e.g. person inputs into a form:
goats.com

i want to get all of the letters after the 'DOT' I would normally check for the 3 from the right but if someone has a different domain (.co.uk for instance) then this won't work.

so, can i run a check on inputed data that is after a DOT?

hope that makes sense.🙂

Thanks in advance,
Hugh

To grab everything from the first occurence of the period to the end, use strchr()

substr(strchr($userInput, "."), 1);

This is assuming that they don't enter "www." at the beginning. If they do, then just remove it:

if (eregi("www.", $userInput)) {
   eregi_replace("www.", "", $userInput);
}
$tld = substr(strchr($userInput, "."), 1);
