note 33868 added to function.preg-match

Example 3 above works well, in fact more reliably than parse_url(). I adapted the example code within in the following function to accommodate domain names that may include a country code top level domain (cctld). function getdomain($url) { // patterns we need to match $pattern_hostname = '/^(http:\/\/)?([^\/]+)/i'; $pattern_domain = '/[^\.\/]+\.[^\.\/]+(\.[^\.\/]{2})?$/'; // extract hostname from URL string preg_match($pattern_hostname, $url, $matches); $hostname = $matches[2]; // extract sld.tld(.cctld if exists) preg_match($pattern_domain, $hostname, $matches); $domain = $matches[0]; return $domain; } -- Erich ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33868 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33868&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33868&report=yes
