note 93983 added to function.parse-url

Hello, for some odd reason, parse_url returns the host (ex. google.com) as the path when no scheme is provided in the input url. So I've written a quick function to get the real host: <?php function getHost($Address) { $parseUrl = parse_url(trim($Address)); return trim($parseUrl[host] ? $parseUrl[host] : array_shift(explode('/', $parseUrl[path], 2))); } getHost("google.com"); // Gives google.com getHost("http://google.com"); // Gives google.com getHost("www.google.com"); // Gives www.google.com getHost("http://google.com/xyz"); // Gives google.com ?> You could try anything! It gives the host (including the subdomain if exists). Hope it helped you. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 79.177.101.36 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93983 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93983 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93983 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
