how to get only domain name from given URL in php

Question

Suppose i have given URL, i want to get only domain name. How do i achieve this in Php.

    +----------------------+------------+
    | input                | output     |
    +----------------------+------------+
    | www.google.com       | google     |
    | www.mail.yahoo.com   | mail.yahoo |
    | www.mail.yahoo.co.in | mail.yahoo |
    | www.abc.au.uk        | abc        |
     www.subdoamin.domain.co.in     // output subdomain

I applied the follwing trick but fails when i have TLD like "co.uk"

     if(isset($project_detail_all[0]->d_name)) {
        $domain_name = $project_detail_all[0]->d_name ;
        $domain_name = explode('.', $domain_name);
        $count = count($domain_name);
        if (top_level_domains($domain_name[$count-1]) && 
            stristr($rss_url, $domain_name[$count-2])) {
            return  isValidXML($rss_url);
        } else {
            return  ['status'=>false , 'invalid_Domain'=>true];
        }
    } else {
        return  ['status'=>false , 'invalid_Domain'=>true];
    }

<?php $domain_name = 'abc.news18.co.in/abc.php' ; $ParsedURL = parse_url(strtolower($domain_name)); if ($ParsedURL['host'] == null) { $domain_name = 'http://'.$domain_name; $ParsedURL = parse_url($domain_name); $domain_name = explode('.', str_ireplace('www.', '', $ParsedURL['host'])); } else { $domain_name = explode('.', str_ireplace('www.', '', $ParsedURL['host'])); } print_r( $domain_name); — wasim beg

What you are looking for is parse_url()

<?php

    $url = parse_url("http://abc.news18.co.in");
    //echo $url['host'];
    echo preg_replace("/^([a-zA-Z0-9].*\.)?([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,})$/", '$2', $url['host']); 

?>

$domain_name = 'abc.news18.co.in/abc.php';

I added a regex which strips the subdomain.

wasim beg Over a year ago

its giving me news18.co.in , but i want only new18 and tld ('co.in') respectively

wasim beg Over a year ago

and again if url does not containing " http:// " parse_url will not work

Then split the result: $pieces = explode(" ", $url['host']); echo $pieces[1];

please use regex to get only domain.

/.*?\.([A-z\d\.]+)(.co|.au)/s

You can see my solution result here. green colored text is result of regex.

Use below code.

$urls = ['www.google.com','www.mail.yahoo.com','www.mail.yahoo.co.in','www.abc.au.uk','www.subdoamin.domain.co.in','abc.news18.co.in/abc.php'];
$result = [];
foreach($urls as $url){
   preg_match('/.*?\.([A-z\d\.]+)(.co|.au)/s',$url,$match);
   $result[] = $match[1];
}
echo '<pre>';print_r($result);

And you'll get result whatever you want.
