Extracting datum from URL...

[Jeauxr]

I wanted to make a site that extracts the word\words used in the subdomain, and places it on an image.

Does anyone know how I could go about geting the info from the subdomain... or is this even possible?

EX.

*domain: youreafag.com

*user types: john.youreafag.com

*an image comes up that extracted "john" and placed it on the image

I do not want to have something like: www.youreafag.com?name=john

Please help! 😉 Thanks

Have a look here I think what you'd be looking for would be the REMOTE_HOST and then split it down on dots with $domain=explode('.',$SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']); I may well be wrong on this so have a play around. It's definitely one of the $SERVER variables though.

Use regular expressions.

$domain = $SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
preg_match("/([A-Za-z0-9])./i", $domain, $aMatches);

echo $matches[0];

Something like that anyway.

if the current domain is "subdomain.domain.com", then that should match "subdomain".

Or maybe there's allready a php function for it? wouldn't surprise me, I forget half the functions that are available.
