How to remove http://, www and slash from URL in PHP?
I need a php function which produce a pure domain name from URL. So this function must be remove http://
, www
and /
(slash) parts from URL if these parts exists. Here is example input and outputs:
Input - > http://www.google.com/ | Output -> google.com
Input - > http://google.com/ | Output -> google.com
Input - > www.google.com/ | Output -> google.com
Input - > google.com/ | Output -> google.com
Input - > google.com | Output -> google.com
I checked parse_url
function, but doesn't return what I need.
Since, I'm beginner in PHP, it was difficult for me. If you have any idea, please answer.
Thanx in advance.
$input = 'www.google.co.uk/';
// in case scheme relative URI is passed, e.g., //www.google.com/
$input = trim($input, '/');
// If scheme not included, prepend it
if (!preg_match('#^http(s)?://#', $input)) {
$input = 'http://' . $input;
}
$urlParts = parse_url($input);
// remove www
$domain = preg_replace('/^www\./', '', $urlParts['host']);
echo $domain;
// output: google.co.uk
Works correctly with all your example inputs.
$str = 'http://www.google.com/';
$str = preg_replace('#^https?://#', '', rtrim($str,'/'));
echo $str; // www.google.com
