Reg Exp Help 1

[rye8261]

I am trying to change the displayed URL with a reg exp. The goal is for a URL like this:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?a=....

to be displayed like this, with or without the last "/"

http://www.domain.com

I am very new to reg exp and this is what i have so far.
ereg("([^\\/]*)$", $pathOrUrl, $regs);
echo $regs[0];

but that just displays the index.php?a=...

How can i get the first part of the url?

Thanks for any help

try this (untested)

ereg("^(\w+)\/\/[^\/]*)", $pathOrUrl, $regs);

Sorry jemminger, that does not work. It doesnt show anything with the code you gave me.

Have another guess? I am so confused with these reg expressions.

Try this, the bit you want will probably be $matches[1]

preg_match("/^(http:\/\/[^\/]+)(\/.*)/i", $URL, $matches);
print_r($matches);
