This is a snippet which extracts the Main Base Address from a complete URL:
<?php
function GetMainBaseFromURL($url)
{
$chars = preg_split('//', $url, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$slash = 3; // 3rd slash
$i = 0;
foreach($chars as $key => $char)
{
if($char == '/')
{
$j = $i++;
}
if($i == 3)
{
$pos = $key; break;
}
}
$main_base = substr($url, 0, $pos);
return $main_base.'/';
}
$url = 'http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/category/hardware/subcategory/mainboards.html';
$main_base = GetMainBaseFromURL($url);
// Output: http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/
echo $main_base;
?>

Hi, I suggest you use parse_url function.
