How to match these up??

[Scooby08]

I'm trying to match up and tell whether an image is linked or just plain text is linked.. Here is what I have that works separately, but I need them to both be unique when searching a match.. Here is what I have..

 

/<a href=\"(.*)\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"(.*)\" \/><\/a>/

 

/<a href=\"(.*)\" target=\"_blank\">(.*)<\/a>/

 

Right now the second one lists the image code rather than just plain text.. How do I remedy this situation??

Do you need to know what's actually between the link tag or do you just need to know whether it's an image or plain text? If you just need to know what it is, no need for 2 regexes...just do a preg_match looking for <img if a result is returned then assume it's an image. If not, assume it's plain text.

 

if (preg_match("/<a.*><img.*<\/a>/",$string)) {
  echo "image linked <br />";
} else {
  echo "plain text linked <br />";
}
