Re: pulling data out of a string

this will remove the www plus the top level domain <?php $site = 'www.somesite.home.com'; $site = str_replace('www.', '', $site); $site = explode('.', $site); $site = array_pop($site); $site = implode('.', $site); // somesite.home ?> this will remove the first host and the top level domain. <?php $site = 'www.somesite.home.com'; $site = explode('.', $site); $site = array_pop($site); $site = array_shift($site); $site = implode('.', $site); // somesite.home ?> -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com "Richard Kurth" <rkurth@pacifier.com> wrote in message news:126166105236.20010514143752@pacifier.com... I am trying to figure out how to pull data out of a string. This is driving me crazy. I figure an if statement of some sort would work but I'm not sure how to structure it. I know how to get what I want if it is just $fullhostname = "www.domain.net"; $exp = explode(".", $fullhostname); $host = $exp[0]; $domain = $exp[1]; $tld = $exp[2]; But what if it looks like this $fullhostname = "www.mysit.dom.net"; I need $host= www $domain = mysit.dom $tld = net or this $fullhostname = "mysite.domain.net"; $host = $domain = mysite.domain $tld = net Or even worse this $fullhostname = "mysit.dom.net"; $host = $domain = mysit.dom $tld = net Best regards, Richard mailto:rkurth@pacifier.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
