if you're string is a variabe $address, then
eregi("http://",$address) will tell you if they've put in the http part, and
$address = substr("$address",7);
will slice off and store the text after the http://

you'll find lots of different ways to do this...whatever suits you, go for
it...

Subject: [PHP] Trim a string


Hello:

I have a signup form that asks for a website address.
I don't need them to put in the http://, but I'm thinking that some will try
anyway.
Is there a way to check for this and remove it when the user submits the
form?

Thanks,
Kyle
