Hi, is there a PHP function, class or something that will return the domain name/home page of a given URL? i.e. how could i find out what site "http:/terra.di.fct.unl.pt/docs/php/function.trim.php.htm"
...belongs to. I have used parse_url which works for most urls but not for ones like the above.

I don't see why parse_url wouldn't work. Are you sure it's not because you've only added one trailing slash after http: ?

Ok, how about urls like "forums.gentoo.org", parse_url() doesn't return "gentoo.org" it returns "forums.gentoo.org".

Couldn't you split the string by the first fullstop i.e

PHP Code:

function getDomain($domain) {
$firststop = stripos($domain);
$top_domain = substr($domain, $firststop)
return $top_domain;
}
