REGEX - Parse domain from referring URL

[kouki0196]

Hi there,

I am looking for a REGEX that will help me parse a URL and extract just the domain. The pattern would be

//0 [http:// or https://] +
//1 [www or subdomain].[?subdomain].domain.[TLD][?:port] +
//2 [path (any characters ... doesn't matter]

The returned match would be //1

Thanks a bunch!

<?php
$string = "http://this.is.atest.com/dir/subdir/file.html";
preg_match("/https{0,1}:\\/\\/([^\\/]*)\\/*.*/i", $string, $matches);
echo "Domain: '{$matches[1]}'";
?>

try this:<?php
if(preg_match("/^[htfps]{3,}\\:\\/\\/(\\w+)?\\.?(\\w{3,})\\.(\\w{3,}|\\w+\.\\w+)/i", "http://www.google.jp.com/search", $matches))
{
array_shift($matches);
//print_r($matches);
echo implode('.', $matches);
}
?>
