$domain = parse_url('http://wordpresas.com/page/1');
$domain['host'] = trim($domain['host'], 'www.');

As other have stated the second parameter of trim() contains a list of characters which get trimmed.

However you can use preg_replace() for this. This will make sure only www. will be stripped if the string starts with it.

preg_replace('/^www./', '', $domain['host']);

The most effective way to do this is probably:

if( strncmp( 'www.', $domain['host'], 4) == 0){
    $domain['host'] = substr( $domain['host'], 4);
}

It should have complexity O(1) :)
