Replace string using php preg_replace

Question

Hi all i know preg_replace can be used for formatting string but i need help in that concerned area my url will be like this

http://www.example.com/index.php/
also remove the http,https,ftp....sites also

what i want is to get result as

example.com/index.php

Removing the protocol is easy. But why would you want to remove the subdomain? That changes the URL. — Felix Kling

Is there really a need to remove subdomain? Can input be vary it always contain a subdomain or sometime url comes without subdomain? — Shakti Singh

$url = 'http://www.example.com/index.php/';
$strpos = strpos($url,'.');
$output = substr($url,$strpos+1);

What exactly will the input format of the url be? Your question has only one example format.

Also, you need to trim the / from the end (if you want the format specified by OP).

$parts=parse_url($url);
unset($parts['scheme']);
//echo http_build_url($parts);   
echo implode("",$parts);

EDIT

To use http_build_url you needs pecl_http you can use implode as alternate

Something like this

  $url = "http://www.example.com/index.php";
  $parts = parse_url($url);
  unset($parts['scheme']);

  echo preg_replace('/^((ww)[a-z\d][\x2E])/i', '', join('', $parts));

Output

example.com/index.php

Example #2

$url = "http://ww3.nysif.com/Workers_Compensation.aspx";

Output

nysif.com/Workers_Compensation.aspx
