printing the current url without the "-"'s and ".com"'s

echo $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];

Hi,
I have this script on my site
echo $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];

which produces
www.blue-domain.com

but I want to print

blue domain

any help is greatly appreciated from this non-programmer

you could regex it...

...but this could get fishy if it sould be capable of handling all RFC conform URLs:

it wouldn't work with the URL "http://foo.bar.baz.example.com/"

Adrian2K4's recommendation (regex) is definitely the pro way to go - you probably want an easier way that you'll be able to customize later.

Maybe something like:

$url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; 
$url = str_replace('www.', '', $url); /* removes the 'www.' */ 
$url = str_replace('.com', '', $url); /* you'll get the rest */ 
$url = str_replace('-', ' ', $url);

Thanks Guys - worked like a charm.

for what it is worth, I ended up with:

$url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$url = str_replace('www.', '', $url); /* removes the 'www.' */
$url = str_replace('.biz', '', $url); /* you'll get the rest */
$url = str_replace('-', ' ', $url);
echo $url;
