[SOLVED] Result of a search to a string?

[dmarquard]

I can't seem to find any functions on php.net that can achieve this, so my guess is that it will require an assortment of functions or regular expressions.

 

Basically, I need to first search for the resulting code you'll see below, and then grab ONLY the URL contained in the following code and assign it the $result variable.

 

    <h3 id="title">
        <a href="http://www.sendmeto.com/a/string/" rel="dc:source" property="dc:title" target="_blank">

 

The above snippet comes from a webpage with much more source code, but I think I provided enough to go on.

<?php
$code = '<h3 id="title">
        <a href="http://www.sendmeto.com/a/string/" rel="dc:source" property="dc:title" target="_blank">';
if(preg_match('/<h3 id="title">\s+<a href="(.+?)"/',$code,$matches)){
  $result = $matches[1];
  print $result;
}else{
  print "No Match";
}
?>

rhodesa, I can't thank you enough.  Your code worked like a charm!

 

Thanks again!
