Using Parse_Url to strip url and rebuild within a foreach loop

Question

I want to strip the Host and Path elements from the "URL" in an array using a foreach loop.

I am doing this as I am comparing results from different search engines and currently very few are "matching" due to slight difference with how search engines handle sites Url's.

I have read the PHP manual site, tried googling it and read many of the questions already asked on Stackoverflow but can not find an example dealing with stripping elements within an array within a foreach loop and then rebuilding them.

I was hoping to use something like this:

{$url0 =  parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);
$url1 =  parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
$url = "$url0$url1";}

// With the foreach loop

 foreach ($jsonObj->d->results as $value) {
   $resultsB[] = array(
     'url' => strip_tags($value->Url),
     'url' => $value->Url,
     'title' => $value->Title,
     'rank' => $i--,
     'desc' => $value->Description,
     $b++,
  );
}

Any help on this or any other method to increase the accuracy of my matching process would be very much appreciated.

 foreach ($jsonObj->d->results as $value) {

    // Leave only host + path
    $url = strip_tags($value->Url);
    $url = $url['host'] . $url['path'];

    $resultsB[] = array(
        'url' => $url,
        'title' => $value->Title,
        'rank' => $i--,
        'desc' => $value->Description,
        $b++,
  );
}

Something like this?

Why do you use the 'url' => $url, instead of 'url' => $value->url,? – user2562455 Jul 11 '13 at 11:44
I set the `$url` before that array... to include only host and path. Look at it – casraf Jul 11 '13 at 11:51
