> Have you looked at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.phpThanks Jay for the function reference, but it doesn't seem like it's what I'm after since the url is packed into the text. What i really need is something that will take the first part of an array cutting the remainder after a delimiter word '.com'. Something along the lines of: <?php $boom[1] = "ranchy.stuff.com and other junk"; $input = $boom[1]; $out = array_slice($input, 0, 1); ?> Part of my problem, I'm beginning to realize, is that the array '$boom[1]' contains only one element. Is there a similar string function I could use that would accomplish what I need? Tia, Andre -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
