filter out parts of a string?

[dekuro]

how can I get out certain parts out of a string? for example, I want to filter out the "http://" of a URL... is there a function in PHP for this?

tnx

$url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
$url = str_replace("http://", "", $url);

Now $url is http://www.yahoo.com

Well it is actually a very useful feature,

If you uncheck do not parse urls it wont do it..
