[RESOLVED] Strip http:// and trailing /

[zzz]

I have a table containing URLs.

Some of them have http:// in front and some have trailing /.

I need to strip both if iether of them present.

Here's the catch: some URLs may have directories:

http://www.domain.net/left/right/page.htm

So I guess I need to make sure that the slash is trailing?...

I think this is a good start but is no t enough:

$remove = array("http://", "/ ");
$cleanURL = str_replace($remove, "", $myURL);

You may find [man]parse_url/man particularly handy.

I feel like a liberal arts students reading a biophysics text book... I suppose I need to keep trying.

Well, you basically dont want the scheme, query and fragment portions, then you dont want a trailing slash.

$url_parts = parse_url($url);
unset($url_parts['scheme'], $url_parts['query'], $url_parts['fragment']);
$result_url = rtrim(implode('', $url_parts), '/');

You sure know your spells!
