emadiba · Nov 30, 2005

hi there guys,

my head is spinning as ive been working on a new program that im sure you will all love once complete, problem is that ive been just under 36 hours with no sleep and cant think anymore.

I need to use the php trim function to remove first 4 characters

www.websitename.com

I need websitename.com only

how do i do this

thanks for the help in advance

Never mind....

this works

$site = $_GET['url'];
$newurl = ltrim($site, "www.");

thanks anyway

Look into substr instead of ltrim

http://www.php.net/substr

Meh, or str_replace http://www.php.net/str_replace

PHP:

$site = $_GET['url'];
$newurl = str_replace("www.", "", $site);

you could also look into using this http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

If you don't want the http, or something, or want to replace a certain string that you know would exist, do a str_replace function and replace it with ""

you could also look into regular expressions and seperate everything :p might be useful, if you have a whole list of links that you want to parse, and only some start with http://www.somesite.com and others with http://somesite.com
