[SOLVED] need a regex pattern

[hansford]

need a pattern for an entire anchor tag containing specifically this URL: http://www.sedoparking.com or

http://www.sedoparking.complusanystringattached

-------------------------

<a href='http://www.sedoparking.com'>whatever is here</a>

<A HREF='http://www.sedoparking.com'>whatever is here</A>

<A HREF="http://www.sedoparking.com">whatever is here</A>

<a href="http://www.sedoparking.com">whatever is here</a>

<a href        =        'http://www.sedoparking.com'        >whatever is here</a>

-----------------------------

$fil = file_get_contents('http://www.frozen.com');`

$find="/<[aA]\s*[ahrefHREF]*\s*=\s*[\"\']http:\/\/www\.sedoparking\.com.*[\'\"]\s*>.*<\/[Aa]\s*>";

$ret = preg_match_all($find, $fil, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

echo $ret;  // returns 0

 

any input or advice would be appreciated.

<a[^>]*(sedoparking.com){1}[^>]*>.*<\/a>

 

This should work, use an ungreedy/case insensitive flag. A lookahead assertion would be cleaner than my double [^>]*'s but not really required

That worked like a charm - thank you.

The literal period should be \. and there's no need for {1}.
