      Hi, i am hoping someone can help/advise.

      At the moment i am using the following code to grab the url and display it on a page:


      <?
      $domainstart = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
      $domainname = str_replace("www.", "", "$domainstart");
      ?>

      then on the page this displays the domain name:

      <? echo "$domainname"; ?>

      What i am trying to do is when <? echo "$domainname"; ?> shows the url how do i go about it using google fonts.

      thanks in advance.

      Let's take a random example...

      <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Kite+One' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

      Put the above between the <head> and </head> tags

      Then use the following:

      <?
      echo "<p style=\"font-family: 'Kite One', sans-serif;\">".$domain."</p>";
      ?>

      You can also use a <span></span> instead of the <p></p> if you don't want to put the domain within a new paragraph.

      The \ in front of the " tells PHP to display the " as a symbol, rather than process it i.e. you have to put that so that you don't drop out of the string being echo-ed.

      Can you be more specific? What do you see on the screen? What error message (if any)? I've not tested the above so I may have misplaced a punctuation mark, or similar...

      Code:
      <head>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Kite+One' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
</head>
<?php
$domainstart = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$domainname = str_replace("www.", "", "$domainstart");
echo "<div style=\"font-family: 'Kite One', 'sans-serif';\">".$domainname."</div>";
?>
      Full code above, works for me

      If you like nice fonts, can thoroughly recommend typekit.com to do a similar job to a higher standard :)

      going back to the above small script, it dispays the domain name on the website for example thisdomainname.co.uk

      can anyone help in having it strip out the extension so it only displays thisdomainname

      thanks in advance.

      The easiest way to remove the extension (since you know it will only be .co.uk/.org.uk etc) would be use str_replace or strtr with an array of known extensions and replace them all with nothing.

      The regex to detect and remove all known extensions is a ball ache, so if you know the extensions just replace them.

      Assuming you are not on a subdomain (other than www), this script will cater for all domain extensions, without the need for defining and stripping out specific extensions:

      Code:
      <?php  
$host = str_replace('www.', '', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
$parts = explode('.', $host);
$domain = $parts[0];

echo $domain;

?>

      To get around the issue seemly mentioned about www and other subdomains you would try to catch here, again this would only work with 3rd level domains like .*.uk not with .com and such. Always a limitation with simple things :(

      Code:
      if(sizeof($parts)==2){
$domain = $parts[0];
}else{
$domain = $parts[1];
}
      I have found pretty good traffic coming from sub domains, if your host supports wildcard subdomains you should def set that :)
