Thread: Best way to strip "http://" in simple PHP code

I have a code like this:

<div class="left">&copy; <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?></a> | <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/sitemap_index.xml">Sitemap</a></div>

, and it is showing the following result:

C http://domain-name.com | Stemap


I am wondering if there is any simple way to get rid of "http://" string using PHP ("inline", without using variables etc, like in some tutorials online)


Thank you.

Lets see if I understand you here. You want to take bloginfo("url") and strip off some text?

You can use str_replace(arg1,arg2,arg3). It has 3 arguments.

arg1 = the string to replace, put this in quotes
arg2 = the string to replace it with, put this in qoutes
arg3 = the string you are searching and replacing text within, in this case bloginfo("url")

str_replace("something","",bloginfo("url"));

will simply strip "something" and replace it with nothing.

You'll need

<?php echo str_replace("something","",bloginfo("url")); ?>

You can find more info on the PHP website and searching for str_replace.

Hope that helps!

PHP Code:

<?php echo str_replace("h t t p : / /","",bloginfo("url")); ?>

That should work I think. However by the looks of it the bloginfo function echos out its output. You may have to find that function and change echo to return.

this seems to be WordPress..

you cannot use bloginfo() inside a str_replace because bloginfo() doesn't return anything it will just echo the requested data. you need to use get_bloginfo() instead..

PHP Code:

<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php str_replace("http://", "", get_bloginfo('url')); ?></a>

Also note to remove the spaces in H T T P : / /

We can use replace function.

We can use replace str function for remove this.
