[PHP] $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] without the 'www.'

[Shaun]

Hi,

How can I get the URL of the page I am on without the 'www.' i.e. just
mydomain.com? I need to enurse this is correct in case the user types in the
domain without using the 'www.'.

I have looked at using substr but if the user leaves out the 'www.' then
substr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 4) would return 'main.com', is there a better
function to use in this instance?

Thanks for your help

This should be Apache's job - you can configure the webserver to redirect
requests from example.com to www.example.com without PHP's involvement, if
that's what you're interested in.

preg_match() should get you started.
/(\w+\.\w+)$/ ought to match just the primary domain.

str_replace()

You can replace the www. with an empty string.
