Try $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], should give you what you are looking for.

For a more general use case you can use parse_url:

$url = 'http://domain.com/link/project/domain/index.php';
$parsed = parse_url($url);
var_dump($parsed['host']); // domain.com
var_dump(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST)); // same

$myurl = "http://domain.com/link/project/domain/index.php"; 

    // get domain name 
    preg_match("/^(http[s]?:\/\/)?([^\/]+)/i", $myurl, $domain_only); 
    $host = $domain_only[2]; 
    echo "Domain Name is:  " . $host;

Is there any reason to reinvent the wheel when a built-in function exists to do exactly this? – cmbuckley Mar 25 '12 at 22:56
