Here is what I Am trying to do:
Fetch an RSS feed and save it on my server
Find all the images in the feed (in the description field
Find out the size of the images, calculate a new size keeping the same aspect ratio
Update the height/width field of the image in the original feed
Heres what I have done so far:
Saved the feed in my server
Found all the images using preg_match_all()
Extracted the image URL using preg_match()
Calculated the new size
Now how do I update the feed saved in the server? Seems like I have to find the <img> tags again in the feed using regexp and replace them with the new updated <img> tags.
I feel like this is not the best way to do it. Can anyone help me out with a more efficient way?
Thanks!
p.s. Heres my code:
// Now find and resize image
$regex = '#<img.*src=\".*\"\s\/>#';
preg_match_all($regex, $text, $matches);
foreach($matches[0] as $value)
{
// Extract the image url from the <img> tag
$regex = '#http:\/\/www\.website.com\/.*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)#';
preg_match($regex, $value, $imgurl);
// Edit $value here. Now want to put $value back into $text
// Now run another regexp here searching $text for old $value and replace it with the new $value?
}
