A more powerful approach would be to use preg_match(). This example will get the last two parts out of the hostname from any URL. <? preg_match("/^(.*)([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)(\/.*)?/U", "http://www.php.net/index.html", $matches); echo "I found: ".$matches[1]."\n"; echo "I found: ".$matches[2]."\n"; echo "I found: ".$matches[3]."\n"; ?> results: I found: http://www. I found: php.net I found: /index.html
