I am using the following htaccess code in my website:

Options +FollowSymLinks     
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)?/?([^/.]+)?/?$ switch.php?one=$1&two=$2 [L]

switch.php has a code that helps my dictionary website to present nice looking addresses.

Lets say that the word XXX in the dictionary is clicked, then the address will be: example.com/XXX

(all by using the same "page.php" file for all the words in the dictionary.

Another example, a user can write the address example.com/YYY and he will be directed to the YYY page which will use "page.php" file and be shown in the address-bar as "example.com/YYY.

My problem is that I want to strip off the www from all my pages but still use my code. so any www.example.com/XXX will be example.com/XXX

I tried many ways to do it but all the strip off www codes do not work well with my code. (I need the switch.php to keep working as I do not want to change the addresses of my website, just to remove www from the pages)

I appreciate anyone who could help me with a solution. I do not mind using 301 direct as well as long as the switch.php still works.

Thanks!

This might be what you're looking for. Or it's at least close. This example strips the http://, www, and the slash at the end of the url, so you can tweak it if it's not quite right for you. It'll do something like this

Input - > http://www.google.com/ | Output -> google.com 

$input = 'www.google.co.uk/';

// in case scheme relative URI is passed, e.g., //www.google.com/
$input = trim($input, '/');

// If scheme not included, prepend it
if (!preg_match('#^http(s)?://#', $input)) {
    $input = 'http://' . $input;
}

$urlParts = parse_url($input);

// remove www
$domain = preg_replace('/^www\./', '', $urlParts['host']);

echo $domain;

// output: google.co.uk

  • Thanks for the answer but I need help with EDITING THE CODE THAT I POSTED i.e to combine my code with the www-strip-off code. – Amichay Rab Jan 10 '15 at 17:42
