I got a tricky one...

I think. :D Anyone know how to take the subdomain out of a url address. :) like.... http://admin.bugssite.org/ and it takes out admin?? :)

try this...
<?php
$old_str = "http://admin.bugssite.org/";
$dot_pos = strpos($old_str, ".");
$new_str = substr($old_string, $dot_pos).substr($old_str, $dot_pos, strlen($old_str));
?>

edit: i've not tested this yet. you can also make this code block into one line like this...<?php
$new_str = substr("http://admin.bugssite.org/", strpos("http://admin.bugssite.org/", ".")).
substr("http://admin.bugssite.org/", strpos("http://admin.bugssite.org/", ".");, strlen("http://admin.bugssite.org/"));
?>

well... it have to remove any subdomain and then return it so I can check see if I need to make a var set to . or ..

another tricky solution is to see if a file exists if link is... http://www.bugssite.org/test.php?section=bloops

it returns that the file is not there but it does. The ?section=bloops fools around with it. :-/

I actually might try and help you out if you obeyed any semblance of proper grammar and sentence structure. It hurts my head to try and read what the heck it is you tried to type there.

try regular expressions...

quick hack:


<?php
$url = 'http://admin.example.com/';

if (preg_match("/^http:\/\/(\w+)\.\w+\.\w+\//", $url, $m)) {
echo "Hooray!: $m[1] ";
}

?>


^ so we know if it matches or not. If so, just use the preg_replace (http://php.net/preg_replace) function.

I wouldn't say it's tricky at all!

function hostname($url)
{
$comp = parse_url($url);
return strtok($comp['host'], '.');
}
