Hi everyone,

First of all:

I am using the following code:

// example: "site" = http://www.google.com ....

$site = strtolower($_GET['site']);
$delete = array("http://", "ftp://","www.");
$show = str_replace($delete, "", $site);

// $show will hold the value "google.com"

this works! What doesn't work is if I put "site" as "http://www.google.com/adsense/root/images/whatever" it gives "http://www.google.com/adsense/root/images/whatever"

What is going wrong?


Secondly:

I also have another problem which I havent a clue how to fix.
When a "URL" is passed to my script in this way:

scriptname.php?site=http://www.google.com

it works fine, but if the URL has variables in it like:

?site=http://www.google.com/?q=Webmaster+World&LANG=UK

it chops of the &LANG part because it is concidered as another variable. How can I take only the variable "url" as a complete string (i.e the whole site URL) from start to finish?


Help is highly appreciated

For the second one:

Use the urlencode and urldecode functions of php..

http://www.php.net/urlencode

http://www.php.net/urldecode

This will create your variables friendly to be parsed along the browser and urls...

I'll get back to you on the first one

I just tried it and it removes the http:// fine. What version of php are you using?
