Examples

Retrieve network for a specific domain and path

This example retrieves the network information for the domain “example.com” and path “/blog/”. The third parameter is left as default to search the full path.

$domain = 'example.com';
$path = '/blog/';

$network = get_network_by_path($domain, $path);

Retrieve network for a domain and path using segments

This example retrieves the network information for the domain “example.com” and path “/blog/category/”. We set the $segments parameter to 1, which means only the first segment of the path (“/blog”) will be used for the search.

$domain = 'example.com';
$path = '/blog/category/';
$segments = 1;

$network = get_network_by_path($domain, $path, $segments);

Retrieve network for a domain with a subdomain

This example retrieves the network information for the subdomain “blog.example.com” and path “/”.

$domain = 'blog.example.com';
$path = '/';

$network = get_network_by_path($domain, $path);

Retrieve network for a domain with a different path

This example retrieves the network information for the domain “example.com” and path “/store/”.

$domain = 'example.com';
$path = '/store/';

$network = get_network_by_path($domain, $path);

Retrieve network using custom segments in a long path

This example retrieves the network information for the domain “example.com” and a long path “/blog/category/subcategory/”. We set the $segments parameter to 2, which means only the first two segments of the path (“/blog/category”) will be used for the search.

$domain = 'example.com';
$path = '/blog/category/subcategory/';
$segments = 2;

$network = get_network_by_path($domain, $path, $segments);
