What is a URL?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is used to specify its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is the fundamental network identification for any resource connected to the web (e.g., hypertext pages, images, and sound files).
URLs have the following format:
protocol://hostname/other_information

echo 'Host : '.$url['host']."\n";
