[SOLVED] regex question.. is this possible?

[obay]

Waah! Help...

 

Using php and regular expressions, is it possible to get the filename of a file in a code such as this:

 

 

 

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="400" height="300"><param name="src" value="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" /><param name="width" value="400" /><param name="height" value="300" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>

 

 

 

 

and turn it into this:

<a href="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player"> </a>

 

 

 

Note that of the first code, only the filename was "extracted" and insert into the second code. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it in PHP?

You could also incorporate the height and width params into the regex, but with only your initial requirement:

$html=preg_replace('~<object\s[^>]*/swflash.cab[^>]*><param\s[^>]*value=("[^"]*")(??!</object>).)*</object>~is','<a href=$1 style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player"></a>',$html);

wow! this is great!

 

however, there might be some typo... the result gives me:

 

<a href="400" style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player"></a>

 

rather than

<a href="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player"></a>

 

that is, the href is incorrect

 

could you help me with this? i tried changing it to $0 or $2, it doesn't work

 

thanks!

$string = '<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="400" height="300"><param name="src" value="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" /><param name="width" value="400" /><param name="height" value="300" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>';

$html=preg_replace('~<object\s[^>]*/swflash.cab[^>]*><param name="src"\s[^>]*value=("[^"]*")(??!</object>).)*</object>~is','<a href=$1 style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player"></a>',$string);

 

Should get you the correct results.

I got really bored and decided to shorten the regex =)

 

<?php
$string = '<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="400" height="300"><param name="src" value="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" /><param name="width" value="400" /><param name="height" value="300" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="../bcms_uploads/myVideo.flv" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>';

$html=preg_replace('~<object.*value="(.*)(\.\w{3})(" />)(.*)</object>~','<a href="$1$2" style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player"></a>',$string);
echo $html . " HTML";
?>

 

Found another way that works which may be more dynamic (not requiring a param of src)

 

$html=preg_replace('~<object.*src="(.*)(\.\w{3})(")(.*)</object>~','<a href="$1$2" style="display:block;width:400px;height:300px" id="player">df</a>',$string);

 

A bit shorter and should get you desired results too =) (I wanted to learn a bit more about regex so yea)
