Regex To Grab Domain From Url

[uniqueideaman]

cpradio,

Replying to your post #18.
Yeah, it will be hard for you to take me seriously when I say I ignore the php.net manual.
But, I don’t ignore the tutorial sites altogether. Else, I’ll be learning no more and be stuck with the little knowledge I just have about php.
I heed:
tizag.net
tutorialspoint.com
tutorialrepublic.com

Later-on, will stick to the following as many programmers suggest it on more than one forum to learn pdo:

(The only proper) PDO tutorial

Some even suggested the following but I find it hardly useful as it seems the whole tutorial is on a single page and too brief:

PHP: The Right Way

I used to post on 10 forums (approx 6 mnths back) but realized some are totally unresponsive or hardly anybody roams. Used to get replies from 6 (inc. this forum). In the last 4-6wks this has dropped down to 4 forums and now to 2. (The drop occured when other forum members found-out I ask the same questions on more than one forum. I used to do that because you never know which forum would reply and which not and not all replies are equal. Different people give different replies and most of them suit me fine and so best I get as much out of everyone as I can no matter where!). This forum is the best so far for me now where I get proper frequent responses. It was the 2nd best at the beginning.

You can still reply to my threads and take me seriously.
I always heed proper advices from all forums and update my codes and experiment with peoples’ suggestions. Whenever, I find code solutions on one forum, I update the code on all forums so members on each forum can be updated how well I am doing and whether my problems have been sorted or not and how they have been sorted. Some codes you will see in my threads in this forum which came from members from other forums. And some codes I get from this forum (eg. your solutions from lastnight) and update on other forums. That way, your solutions get spread on other forums too. Other newbies and oldbies alike can make use of your codes over there.

Yeah, I will try Code Academy. Remember, I saved it lastnight.
I will get back to my php learning from tomorrow or so. Just took a brief rest from it as I was on holiday from last sunday to wednesday. Lastnight and tonight, busy trying to fix my scripts. Trying to build a web proxy that will track users clicks on remote sites (proxified sites & pages). And trying to finish my member reg-login site.

Problem is, I learn quickly and forget quickly. Can’t always remember all the lengthy codes. Therefore, building a .exe bot where the bot will remember the php codes and I’ll just click the buttons for it to spit-out the codes of each function etc. I’ll upload the bots in this forum now and then when they finish so that others can make use of them when they get tired typing the same php codes over and over again.
I only know how to build .exe bots with Ubot Studio. I don’t build spam bots or bots that engage in fraud. I’m honest person. I build bots to scrape data or post data.

Know basic html (learnt it in 1998 and now updated a little to html 5 in 2015) and learnt a little css in 2015 when I learnt basic php in 2015 (in 2wks from tizag.net). That’s about it really, about my programming career.

No need to reply. Unless you want to.

If you really want to get taken a bit more seriously, I’ll plead with you to spend some time going through the Code Academy PHP course.

It is interactive, the lessons are brief and focus on a single task in the PHP language, and you will do well with it as it will give you a grounding so you can do less “experimenting”

I bet you could easily complete the course in a day, and if you should get stuck on a lesson, you know of a forum that will happily help you get through it (hint: this one).

@uniqueideaman

I heed:
tizag.net

You clearly don’t heed advice offered on the forums:

Why fopen 1st Parameter Does Not Work if You Directly Type The File Name Rather Than Feed The Name Via A Variable?

If you look at the foot of the page you have linked to, you’ll see this: [image] As it appears the site has not been updated since 2008 I would strongly encourage you to use a more up-to-date resource.

Ok. cpradio, techno bear and sam.
I’ll post in this forum when I’ve started learning from Code Academy. Let us see how long it takes for me to learn it from. As I come across dead-ends there or have questions then I’ll drop a line in this forum. I usually do that, when I get stuck understanding something on a tutorial site like tutorialspoint.com.
Actually, if you guys want to know how much of php I really know then head over to the tizag.net. The site that techno bear is complaining about. Well, what can I say techno bear, when I read that site in sep 2015 in 2wks I did not check the date and so read the whole php section. Now, goign through tutorialspoint.com like others suggested in many forums and cross reference with tutorialrepublic.com. Codeacademy.com is now in my list. This is gonna be the 3rd time now where I start from the beginning again on a new site. Let’s hope this one is the last. I really want to move-on beyond the beginner level to the intermediate.
Now, saying all this, don’t get me wrong that I will quit my current projects which are really for intermediate or adv programmers. I will continue building my web proxy, member reg-login site as they are 90% finished thanks to forum members like you and especially the youtube tutorials where I really got the codes from. I just found my way to the forums whenever those codes did not work here and there for some reason such as for being a little outdated or stopped working when I changed the codes here and there to my needs.
I thought I will finish learning intermediate php in 3 mnths but now estimating 6 mnths and so can’t afford to wait 6 mnths to complete my projects. They will go on on the side. I am gaining work experience on the side while I learn basic php. Have downloaded about 100 youtube tutorials in the past 2 mnths. Gonna start on building my own web crawler & searchengine very soon. Going to be fun as I am gonna add my own unique features like I always do. Add a little twist here and there. :). Viral traffic & earning features.
And, not to forget my own forum that will have a unique feature that rewards volunteers (moneywise & brandwise).
Now, I’m getting back to my cURL experiments. Got to finish that mini web proxy I am building that will track users from page to page on remote sites (proxified pages).
