Parsing Current URL for Base Name-PHP

[cornella]

What I need to do is have a little php script "read" the current URL and parse out the base domain name (without tld) so I can use this in a page or article as a variable. For example, if the url is www.domain1.US/articles/vehicles/trucks.htm the script will find "domain1."

What would be even better is if the script could read the current page URL, parse out the base name, compare it to a mysql table and automatically return another field

domain1 | cars
domain2 | trucks
domain3 | motorcycles

Would this be possible? I would appreciate any insight.

hmm. Sounds a little vague. Is this PHP script going to be embedded in the page? Or will you be using something such as cURL to view the page and grab said information?

If it's embedded you could do a simple stripping of everything between www. and .extension or what have you.

If it's the cURL way, it's still possible just a little more complicated.

Ok,

So if I read this right you want to get just domain out of www.domain.com

So this should work

$domainparts = explode('.',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
if (count($domainparts) == 2) echo $domainparts[0];
else echo $domainparts[1];

And also, if I read right, i'm not sure how you want to get cars, trucks, etc. but if you want to pull that from the file name like trucks.html would be trucks, you could use the following code.

list($file,$ext) = explode('.',str_replace('/','',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
echo $file;

So in the case of www.domain1.US/articles/vehicles/trucks.htm

$domainparts = explode('.',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
list($file,$ext) = explode('.',str_replace('/','',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
if (count($domainparts) == 2) echo $domainparts[0];
else echo $domainparts[1];
echo " | $file";

This would give you: domain1 | trucks

Hope this helps answer your questions
