amites Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hello, I'm working on a script to auto parse URL's in text, I have the URL match working, unfortunately it is parsing existing links and image links as well, anyone have some advice? preg_match('/\\bhttps?:\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|]/i', $content) I tried adding (!=") and it simply ignores the last character of the match, what I want it to do id ignore matches inside quotation marks " any ideas are greatly appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126797-match-url-not-inside-tag/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
genericnumber1 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 a logical "not" in regex is [^chars] so for you it would likely be [^"] or [^"'] to make sure there isn't a quote in a certain section of text.

amites Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm not looking to keep " from being in the match, I want to keep from matching something inside "" so http://www.someurl.com will match <a href="http://www.someurl.com"> will not make sense?

effigy Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 You need to isolate the HTML, similar to this. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126797-match-url-not-inside-tag/#findComment-655885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
