Hi Stackers,
I'm building my first landing page and don't know html or php. I'm groping around in the dark here. It's for a coupon style landing page. I got the idea from Maynzie.
I've added a target trimming to root domain code to it and also added a fix by another reader called gorkem on ctrtard's post. This is his fix:
"thanks for this post. it is great..
BUT, It does not handle;
https://www.ctrtard.com/sites/
if there is a slash after sub-directory, it does not work. I am working on it now, will fix it soon.
Instead of using the code for last slash, I did this;
$first_slash = stripos($target, “/”);
$target = substr($target, 0, $first_slash);
it worked great even if there is 5 sub directory."
Here is the code by ctrtard: [PHP]<?php
function trim_url_to_root_domain($target) {
/** Trim Url to Root Domain
* by ctrtard.com 8/1/2011
*
* This function is mainly useful for PPV. You can pass it a URL (target) and it
* will trim it down to the root domain. Unlike most other examples I've found,
* It handles subdomains and squirrely, or malformed URLs like "//something.domain.com"
* The result is a nice looking domain for dynamic keyword insertion into your
* landing pages.
*
* Usage:
* echo trim_url_to_root_domain("http://mytarget.com");
* or
* echo ucfirst (trim_url_to_root_domain("http://mytarget.com")); // uppercase first letter
*
*/
// trim http, https, and //
$target = str_replace("http:", "", $target);
$target = str_replace("https:", "", $target);
$target = str_replace("//", "", $target);
// check for dots
$dots = substr_count($target, '.');
if ($dots > 1) { // if there are more than 1 dots, we need to remove subdomain
$first_dot = strpos ($target, ".");
$target = substr($target, $first_dot+1, strlen($target));
}
// find the last slash, this should be the slash just before directory info
$last_slash = strripos($target, "/");
if ($last_slash > 0 ) {
$target = substr($target, 0, $last_slash);
}
// find last slash one more time, to handle targets like /domain.com
$last_slash = strripos($target, "/");
if ($last_slash !== FALSE ) {
$target = substr($target, 1, strlen($target));
}
// normalize target so it's all lower case
$target = strtolower($target);
return $target;
}

Is this correct? What and where do I need to add to CPVLAB to make it work?
How do I test it, to see if it is working correctly?
Any help would be appreciated.
