A programming question...

[thrawn]

Some of you might know that for the present, my main stream of internet based income is from webdesign and programming (still waiting for my clickbank affilate site to be placed onto the great google). However there's one thing that i don't know how to do, and it has been bugging me for ages:

Take this url:

www.$name.url.extension

How do i draw down the variable name from the url? I have seen sites that do it, but i myself cannot :( If anyone could help me out it would be most appreciated (Preferably in php)

Thank you

I'm not sure what you mean... shorten it, so to speak?

How do I make the sub domain into a variable e.g.:

www.thrawn.website111.net (the 111 is to stop redirection to a real site)

How do i turn the Thrawn part into a variable? Like on those sites a while back, www.person.youvebeenowned.com or something like that.

OMFG! That's probably the first programming problem I have not successfuly Googled yet :angry: :angry: :angry:

Anyway bro, it's http://person.justgotowned.com/ :lol:

Try this:

$url = 'http://something.mypage.com/blah';
$url_components = parse_url($url);
$host_components = explode('.', $url_components['host']);
$result = $host_components[0];
echo $result;

Thank you everyone for your help :D I wasn't sure if it was possible or not, out of interest, does anyone know a really good book/site/resource for advanced codes in php that aren't mainstream? I know all of the mainstream stuff; however I need to add some spice :D

Thank you again

Thrawn :)
