$url = isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && 'on' === $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https' : 'http';
$url .= '://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$url .= in_array( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'], array('80', '443') ) ? '' : ':' . $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
$url .= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
return $url;
}
$current_url = str_replace("www.", "", curPageURL());
?>

Answer 1

Try this,
<?php
$url = 'http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/whatever/';
$parts = explode('/', $url);
$new_url = $parts[0].'/'.$parts[1].'/'.$parts[2].'/'.$parts[3].'/'.$parts[4].'/';
echo $new_url;
?>
OUTPUT
http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/

Answer 2

Assuming that you have grabbed this URL from your function...
<?php
$url='http://www.something.com/somebody/somegirls/whatever/';
$parts=explode('/',parse_url($url)['path']);
array_unshift($parts,trim(strstr(parse_url($url)['host'],'.'),'.'));
print_r(array_filter($parts));
OUTPUT :
Array
(
[0] => something.com
[2] => somebody
[3] => somegirls
[4] => whatever
)

Answer 3

You can also use parse_url to get the url in parts in an array like this:
$current_url_array = parse_url($current_url);
var_dump($current_url_array);

Answer 4

You can use regexp:
<?php
function getFirstUrlContents($Url) {
preg_match_all('/^([^\/]*\/){5}/', $Url, $MatchesArray);
return $MatchesArray[0];
}
var_dump(getFirstUrlContents('http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/whatever/'));
?>

Answer 5

<?php
$url='http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/whatever' ;
$explode=explode("/", $url);
$search=end($explode);
echo $currentUrl=str_replace($search,'',$url);
?>
Output
http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/

Answer 6

Try with this :
<?php
$url = 'http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/whatever/';
$pos = explode('/', $url);
for($i=0; $i<5; $i++){
echo $pos[$i].'/';
}
?>
Output: http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/

Answer 7

Please check the below code.
function createUrl($array, $pos) {
$string = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $pos; $i++)
$string .=$array[$i].'/';
return $string;
}
$current_url = "http://something.com/somebody/somegirls/xyz/yui";
$initial_string = (stripos($current_url, 'https://') !== FALSE)
? 'https://'
: ((strpos($a, 'http://') !== FALSE)
? 'http://' : '');
$last_string = explode('/', substr($a, strlen($initial_string)));
$final_url = $initial_string.
(count($last_string) > 3)
? createUrl($last_string, 3)
: substr($current_url, strlen($initial_string));
echo $final_url;
