I am using the following code to get url,
<?php echo substr($links[$i],0,60); ?>
This shows full url with max 60 characters. But i want to show only base url like www.example.com
Can anyone help?
Use parse_url from php.net parse_url
<?php
$url = "https://www.stackoverflow.com/";
echo $domain = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);
?>
Output: www.stackoverflow.com
<?php
$url = '//www.example.com/path?googleguy=googley';
// Prior to 5.4.7 this would show the path as "//www.example.com/path"
echo "<pre>";
var_dump(parse_url($url));
echo "</pre>";
?>
<?php
echo "<pre>";
var_dump(parse_url($url));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_SCHEME));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_USER));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PASS));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PORT));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY));
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_FRAGMENT));
echo "</pre>";
?>
With echo "<pre>"; echo "</pre>"; you can style the output from var_dump, looks better
