In PHP, you can use global variables $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] or $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] to retrieve the domain name that the user is accessing. These variables store the hostname or domain name of the current request, allowing developers to perform different actions or redirects based on different domains.
Here is an example:
<?php $domain = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; echo "The domain you are accessing is: " . $domain; ?>
In this example, we first retrieve the current domain using $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], then concatenate it with 'http://' to get the complete domain. Finally, we use the echo statement to output this domain.
Here is a simple overview of how to retrieve the domain name in PHP:
| Method | Code Example | Description |
| $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] | <?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?> | Retrieve the Host header field of the request, which usually contains the domain name and port number (if any). |
| $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] | <?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; ?> | Retrieve the server name that received the request, usually the same as the domain name but without the port number. |
| gethostname() | <?php echo gethostname(); ?> | Retrieve the hostname of the local machine. However, this function usually doesn't return the domain name the user is accessing, unless the server hostname and domain name are the same. |
| getenv('HTTP_HOST') | <?php echo getenv('HTTP_HOST'); ?> | Retrieve the Host header field of the request using environment variables. |
| parse_url() | <?php $url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $domain = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST); echo $domain; ?> | Parse the entire URL and extract the domain part. |
Please note that the above code should be executed within PHP tags and assumes that the server is properly configured and the request is made via the HTTP protocol.
The code examples in this explanation are only applicable to PHP environments and assume that the user is accessing the website via the HTTP protocol. For HTTPS requests, SSL certificates and corresponding server configurations may need to be considered. In actual use, appropriate error handling may be necessary to ensure the robustness of the code.
