How do I parse a URL in PHP? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
You can use parse_url to get down to the hostname.
e.g.:
$url = "http://localhost/path/to/?here=there";
$data = parse_url($url);
var_dump($data);
/*
Array
(
[scheme] => http
[host] => localhost
[path] => /path/to/
[query] => here=there
)
*/
Solution 2:
$url = 'http://localhost/something/';
$parsedurl = parse_url($url);
echo $parsedurl['scheme'].'://'.$parsedurl['host'];
