Hi,
I receive posts from an open moderated forum that need to be filtered for
urls. I've successfully managed to trap any entires that use 'http://' 'www.'
with the standard '.com' '.org', '.net' endings.
What I need to do is to strip the prefix part ('http:// or http://www. or
'www') and suffix as well (the .com, etc.) I need only the domain name. I
can't seem to trim away the suffix part.
The code I've tried:
$_POST['request'] = "aaaa. bbbb. The third has it all www.borko.worko.com and
meanders on. Then it stops.";
$check = $_POST['request'];
if (preg_match("@^(?:www.)?([^/]+)@i", $check, $match))
{
$host = $match[1];
(print "<br><div class='center'>
<h4><br><br><br>URLs are not permitted
<br><br>
Click 'Back' on your browser and delete all URL references.
</h4><br><br><br></div>");
/* EXTRA 1: Added to see what's happening */
print "<h4 style='color:green;'>$match[1]</h4><br><br";
/* END EXTRA 1 */
$boom = explode("www.", $host);
foreach($boom as $key => $host){
$boom[$key] = $host;
}
$booms = implode("www.", $boom);
$out = (preg_match('[.com]', $boom[1], $match));
/* EXTRA 2: Added to see what's happening */
echo "<b style='color:blue;'>The BOOM1 SPLIT Domain Name is:</b>
{$boom[1]}<br><br><br>";
echo "<b style='color:green;'>The OUT SPLIT Domain Name is:</b>
{$out}<br><br><br>";
/* EXTRA 2 */
What ouputs:
Extra 1: "aaaa. bbbb. The third has it all www.borko.worko.com and meanders
on. Then it stops."
Extra 2 BOOM1 SPLIT: "borko.worko.com and meanders on. Then it stops."
Extra 2 OUT SPLIT: nothing
There's gotta be a better, simpler way of doing this. I want to check for the
string in the POST. If it's there, tag it, and be able to save it, and
re-enter just the domain back into future checks based on the IP address as
well.
Tia,
Andre
