Basically I have a form where a user puts in a url of a page to save (e.g. http://domain.com/random/page) and I want it to just get the domain name of the website (domain.com). How do I do this?

Look the function parse_url(), and get the "host" key from the array.

I would remove the http:// and then split the string by /. Take the first value of the resulting array from the split.
