PHP REGEX: Get domain from URL

Question

What I want

---

I want to get from a URL the domain part so from http://example.com/ -> example.com

Answer 1

Best way i think:

preg_match('/(http(|s)):\/\/(.*?)\//si',  'http://www.example.com/page/?bla=123#!@#$%^&*()_+', $output);
// $output[0] ------------>  https://www.example.com/
