(The subdomain could be anything, not just www) The complete list of top-level domains is neither very long, nor changes very often. Perhaps a new country/suffix now and again is added or renamed, but it doesn't happen that much. In short, I think it'd be much better for you to obtain a full list and then just remove that element from your hostname. Then you'll know for a fact that whatever is left is the pure domain (+ sub-domain). Of course it won't help if someone gives you the IP of a site (or any other similar variation) instead of a domain name :) Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window"
