I need to build a function which parses the domain from a url.
So:
http://google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html or http://www.google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html
Would become "google.com" and
http://google.co.uk/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html
would become "google.co.uk"
check out parse_url():
$url = 'http://google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html';
$parse = parse_url($url);
print $parse['host']; // prints 'google.com'
note: parse_url doesn't handle really badly mangled urls very well, but is fine if you generally expect decent urls.
From http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php#93983
for some odd reason, parse_url returns the host (ex. example.com) as the path when no scheme is provided in the input url. So I've written a quick function to get the real host:
function getHost($Address) {
$parseUrl = parse_url(trim($Address));
return trim($parseUrl['host'] ? $parseUrl['host'] : array_shift(explode('/', $parseUrl['path'], 2)));
}
getHost("example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("http://example.com"); // Gives example.com
getHost("www.example.com"); // Gives www.example.com
getHost("http://example.com/xyz"); // Gives example.com
$domain = str_ireplace('www.', '', parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST));
This would return the google.com for both http://google.com/... and http://www.google.com/...
$url = 'http://google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html';
$parse = parse_url($url);
print $parse['host']; // prints 'google.com'
if we check subdomain just liek www.games.google.com
its show : games.google.com
how can i handlel that thing?
The internal PHP function "parse_url" is not always sufficient to parse URLs or URIs correctly into their components, such as Host/Domain, Path, Segments, Query and Fragment.
In this case you need a reliable result array like this:
There's a standard-compliant, robust and performant PHP Class for handling and parsing URLs / URIs according to RFC 3986 and RFC 3987 available for download and free use:
