I have a static domain of dev.example.com
with wildcard subdomains like so *.dev.example.com
.
I need to detect the name of the current wildcard subdomain. So if I'm browsing sub.dev.example.com
how do I get "sub"?
$env_domain = dev.example.com;
$subdomain = array_shift( explode( '.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) ) .'.'. $env_domain;
echo $subdomain;
Currently, this returns dev
. I need it to return sub
.
I'm thinking the best practice here would be to return the most low-level domain (the first subdomain).
Note that I'm not parsing a URL, but a given domain.
$domain = 'sub.dev.example.com';
$tmp = explode('.', $domain);
$subdomain = current($tmp);
print($subdomain); // prints "sub"
This is another simple solution for the question.
echo array_shift((explode(".",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])));
I think using parse_url function is much better approach:
getUrlSubdomain($url){
$urlSegments = parse_url($url);
$urlHostSegments = explode('.', $urlSegments['host']);
if(count($urlHostSegments) > 2) {
return $urlHostSegments[0];
}
else{
return null;
}
}
Here's a little function that'll do the trick.
Just stick $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] into the function and you should get what you want
function getSubDomain ($domain) {
$eDom = explode('.', $domain);
return $eDom[0];
}
echo getSubDomain('sub.dev.example.com'); // echo 'sub'
From PHP 5.3 you can use strstr() with true parameter
echo strstr('sub.dev.example.com', '.', true); //prints sub
