how to strip clean a referring URL

Dutch · 12-17-2006, 06:35 PM

Hi

I would like to show the 'domain' part of referring URLs on a web page that I'm working on. In other words - if someone is referred by..

http://www.namepros.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=46

.. then I'd like to just show www.namepros.com on my page.

Not sure if this is at all possible, but any help will be much appreciated!

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

$referrer = explode('/', $referrer);

$referrer = $referrer[2];

echo $referrer;

 
?>

Many thanks for the info, Dan!

I actually forgot to mention that my current hosting provider doesn't support PHP,

but I may have to consider moving to one that does.

Meanwhile, would you by any chance now how to accomplish this with ASP/vbscript?

Added message:

Just received the following script suggestion at another forum:

Dim strURL, tmparray, domain
strURL = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
tmparray = Split(strURL, "/")
domain = tmparray(2)

This seems to work fine, so I will use this for the time being.

Thanks again!
