Replace Everything After

The_PHP_Newb

Hello,

I'm trying to make http://www.mysite.com/page.php look like www.mysite.com. I can get rid of the [url]http://[/url] by using the following code:

$var = eregi_replace("http://","",$site_url);

Now my question is, how do I take $var and replace the rest of the URL string (everything after .com) ?

To add more confusion, there might be hundreds of these URL names in the database. Not all will be the same length (if that matters) and not all will end in .com. Some might be .net or .biz, etc. I've looked at preg and str, etc. but just can't seem to get it working right.

Can someone please provide a code sample. Thanks much.

So am I right in thinking that you just want to change the index page from index.php (for example) to page.php? If so, you don't have to do this in code form. As long as you're using apache and that has been set up correctly, then you can use the method shown here.

That is not at all what I want.

Change

http://www.mysite.com/whatever.php

www.mysite.com

[man]substr[/man]

Thanks, strpos is what I needed to figure out the position to start the chop.

You may be able to simplify things a bit for yourself with the [man]parse_url/man function.

dirname() w/ your eregi_replace would be another easy option.. you would end up with something like this

<?php
$var1 = "http://www.mysite.com/whatever.php";

$var2 = dirname($var1);

$var3 = eregi_replace("http://","",$var2);

echo $var3;

?>

This should do the job...

Good Luck
