How do I remove http, https from string in php

Question

Example user input

http://domain.com/
hTTp://domain.com/Cars/
hTtp://www.domain.com/pAge/

I want a php function to make the output like

domain.com
domain.com/Cars/
www.domain.com/pAge/

Let me know :)

Use `str_replace()` => http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php — Funk Forty Niner, Nov 29 '14 at 20:51
Try `preg_replace` then, including what you tried. Or, `str_ireplace()` http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-ireplace.php which is for case-insensitive. It will match `http` and `htTp` etc. — Funk Forty Niner, Nov 29 '14 at 20:54
@GiorgiLazashvili you can use str_ireplace() to make it case insensitive http://php.net/manual/de/function.str-ireplace.php — Daniele D, Nov 29 '14 at 20:57

You don't need regular expressions here, just use parse_url and str_replace:

$url = 'hTtp://www.domain.com/pAge/';
$url = str_replace( parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_SCHEME ) . '://', '', $url );

Consider using parse_url() to get an array with the different parts of the url and rebuild it as a string any way you want.

Consider using a regex, with preg_replace $converted = preg_replace('#^h+t+p+s+?://#i', '', $stringtoprocess);

Maybe the easiest way might be

echo str_replace('//','',strstr($url, '//'));
