RE: [PHP] Trim a string

if you're string is a variabe $address, then eregi("http://",$address) will tell you if they've put in the http part, and $address = substr("$address",7); will slice off and store the text after the http:// you'll find lots of different ways to do this...whatever suits you, go for it... -jack -----Original Message----- From: Kyle Mathews [mailto:kyle@thedip.net] Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2001 4:46 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Trim a string Hello: I have a signup form that asks for a website address. I don't need them to put in the http://, but I'm thinking that some will try anyway. Is there a way to check for this and remove it when the user submits the form?
