    I am trying to set a variable based on HTTP_REFERER... but for example, if the page I was at right now when posting this topic detected my referer, it'd show as 
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=37
    Code (markup):
    Is there a way I can manipulate the string to cut off at 
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com
    Code (markup):
    to use as easy as it is to use simply... 
    $site = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
    Code (markup):


    I don't know if this is a matter of using 'strpos' or what.

    Hi,

    What you may do is –

    Find the first occurrence of “/” starting from the 8th position of the string in HTTP_Referrer

    Then get a sub string starting from beginning of the string till the position retuned above, this will give you what you want.

    Hope this makes sense to you.

    Cheers,

    ~Maneet

    might want to try parse_url :

    also $info['scheme'] will give you the "http" bit ... you would need to add the "://" ... or you could just add "http://" ...
