There isn t really a 100  dynamic solution - I ve just been trying to figure it out as well and due to different domain extensions  DTL  this task would be really difficult without actually parsing all these extensions and checking them each time    com vs  co uk vs org uk   The most reliable option is to define a constant  or database entry etc   that stores the actual domain name and remove it from the   SERVER  SERVER NAME   using substr    defined  DOMAIN          define  DOMAIN    mymaindomain co uk       function getSubDomain          if  empty   SERVER  SERVER NAME                return null               subDomain   substr   SERVER  SERVER NAME    0  - strlen DOMAIN          if  empty  subDomain              return null              return rtrim  subDomain             Now if you re using this function under http   test mymaindomain co uk it will give you test or if you have multiple sub-domain levels http   another test mymaindomain co uk you ll get another test - unless of course you update the DOMAIN   I hope this helps

I know I m really late to the game  but here goes   What I did was take the HTTP HOST server variable    SERVER  HTTP HOST    and the number of letters in the domain  so for example com it would be 11    Then I used the substr function to get the subdomain  I did   numberOfLettersInSubdomain   strlen   SERVER  HTTP HOST   -12  subdomain   substr   SERVER  HTTP HOST     numberOfLettersInSubdomain     I cut the substring off at 12 instead of 11 because substrings start on 1 for the second parameter  So now if you entered test example com  the value of  subdomain would be test   This is better than using explode because if the subdomain has a   in it  this will not cut it off

Here s a one line solution   array shift  explode        SERVER  HTTP HOST         Or using your example   array shift  explode       en example com        EDIT  Fixed  only variables should be passed by reference  by adding double parenthesis    EDIT 2  Starting from PHP 5 4 you can simply do   explode       en example com   0

Using regex  string functions  parse url   or their combinations it s not real solution  Just test any of proposed solutions with domain test en example co uk  there will no any correct result   Correct solution is use package that parses domain with Public Suffix List  I recomend TLDExtract  here is sample code    extract   new LayerShifter TLDExtract Extract      result    extract- gt parse  test en example co uk     result- gt getSubdomain       will return  string   test en   result- gt getSubdomains       will return  array    test    en    result- gt getHostname       will return  string   example   result- gt getSuffix       will return  string   co uk

As the only reliable source for domain suffixes are the domain registrars  you can t find the subdomain without their knowledge  There is a list with all domain suffixes at https   publicsuffix org  This site also links to a PHP library  https   github com jeremykendall php-domain-parser     Please find an example below  I also added the sample for en test co uk which is a domain with a multi suffix  co uk     lt  php  require once  vendor autoload php     pslManager   new Pdp PublicSuffixListManager     parser   new Pdp Parser  pslManager- gt getList      host    http   en example com    url    parser- gt parseUrl  host    echo  url- gt host- gt subdomain     host    http   en test co uk    url    parser- gt parseUrl  host    echo  url- gt host- gt subdomain
