Parse Domain From String Text

Question

I would like to search through the strings I have and pull out the domain name that may end with .com .net etc...

$string = "Just head over to nba.com";
$string = "visit cnn.net";

Please help me extract the domain name above into a variable.

Thank you in advance.

Is domain always the last item on the string or it may appear at different positions ? — Prix, Jul 29 '13 at 06:10
Googling `php parse url from string` turns up many useful solutions. — Pekka, Jul 29 '13 at 06:10

1

if (preg_match_all('/\w+\.(com|net)/', $text, $matches)){
   print_r($matches);
}

The first match will be:

echo $matches[0][0];
