Is there any nice way of detecting the url prefix?

so for this url:

http://test.mysite.com

I would like to extract 'test'

They're "subdomains", not "prefixes". This will probably work, but it will only return the first subdomin. For instance, if your url was http://some.subdomain.domain.com, it would only return "some". If there isn't a subdomain, like http://domain.com, it will return boolean FALSE.

Code:
function get_subdomain($url)

{

  $parts = parse_url($url);

  $parts = explode('.', $parts['host']);

  return (count($parts) > 2) ? $parts[0] : FALSE;

}

$subdomain = get_subdomain('http://test.domain.com');

var_dump($subdomain);

// "test"

$subdomain = get_subdomain('http://domain.com');

var_dump($subdomain);

// (bool)FALSE

Strange, the forum software is inserting commas where there are none.
