How do you this on this forum?

If I add this link from Furkids it gets formatted to only display the domain name?

[furkids.co.za]

How to do that?

I know you guys are busy and this isn't part of wamp but it is an interesting topic no?

i think it's a good mean not to flood the posts with ultra long links.
Just move your mouse over the "domain" and you'll see the full url in the browser statut bar.

Yes works well, but how to do it?

Do you need a special add-on or wordpress or is it PHP coding/programming?

Cheers

If I'm not wrong, it's php codings which detect the first / and only output to the screen what ever in front of it, of course, the whole link still remain intact

Not sure how that works?

You mean if I add

[http://www.exampledomain.com/link?id=linkid&link2=linkid]
there is a PHP script that checks it and only displays
[www.exampledomain.com] or [exampledomain.com]

Isn't this called url something? (not sure what the actual name is)

It freakin' cool, would like to learn it.

this is so called "url rewriting" but often used in apache's .htaccess files.
you're It's a kind of url rewriting ...

here's a script to help you :

/* original source @ [www.php.net] ** modified to feet the need. */

$anyurl = "[www.exampledomain.com];;
preg_match (  '@(http://.*[^/])([/].*)@i' , $anyurl , $matches  );
print_r($matches); // print all stored results
printf("<p><a href=\"%s\">[%s]</a></p>", $anyurl, $matches[1] ); // print simple link
printf("<p>[<a href='%1\$s' title='%1\$s'>%2\$s</a>]</p>", $anyurl, $matches[1]); //with title

/* Replace the preg_match line with this one to exclude capturing the http:// caracters :
preg_match('@(?:[])(.*[^/])([/].*)@i', $anyurl, $matches);*/

Looks helpful, will try it now.

Thank you

Works very well,
Where on earth did you get this script?

Made a small change to the script:

/* original source @ [www.php.net] ** modified to fit the need. */

$anyurl = "[www.exampledomain.com];; 
//or use above options to get the link/url

/* $anyurl = $_GET['geturl']; //get url
$anyurl =$_SESSION['geturl']; //post url
$anyurl = $_POST['geturl']; //session url */

preg_match ('@(http://.*[^/])([/].*)@i' , $anyurl , $matches);
print_r($matches); // print all stored results
printf("<p>[<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>]</p>", $anyurl, $matches[1] ); // print simple link
printf("<p>[<a href='%1\$s' title='%1\$s'>%2\$s</a>]</p>", $anyurl, $matches[1]); //print with title

/* Replace the preg_match line with this one to exclude capturing the http:// caracters :
preg_match('@(?:[])(.*[^/])([/].*)@i', $anyurl, $matches);*/

Thanks for your support!

good.

There are a lot of Regular expressions like this over the net , use them to extract formatted strings from any other string. They can be used to validate email adress, ip, phone numbers, urls, and much more.

if u need to learn more :
[www.regular-expressions.info]

i get the regexp from this url :
[www.php.net]
