exploding a link

[jakebur01]

How to I extract just the url part out of a full html link?

 

Example: the $testlink variable contains a html link

$testlink = <a href="http://www.testlink.com/">Test Link</a>;

 

How do I get just the http://www.testlink.com/ out of the link?

<?php

$testlink ="<a href=\"http://www.testlink.com/\">Test Link</a>";

$array=explode("href=\"",$testlink);

echo substr($array[1],0,strpos($array[1],"\">"));

//outputs: http://www.testlink.com/

?>

You can also try regular expressions:

 

echo ereg_replace("<a href=\"([^\"]+)\".*", "\\1", $testlink);

Try:

 

<?php
$url = 'http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/click?lid=41000346346356262638103';
$parts = explode('/',$url);
$newurl = $parts[0].'//'.$parts[2];
echo $newurl;
?>

You can try this too:

 

echo ereg_replace("<a href=\"http://([^\"/]+).*", "http://\\1", $testlink);
