// Sample Code

$position = strpos("http://www.php.net", ".");
echo substr("http://www.php.net", 0, $position);

// Result

http://www.php

The problem is that according to the docs strpos is supposed to return the position of the 1st occurance of the character in the string (strpos -- Find position of first occurrence of a string).

There is no problem here. $position contains the position of the first
occurrence of "." and then you get the exact result that you need.
