I have made several attempts and so far failed

Here is the code i use

 

$string = 'this is a test <a href="www.iwanturl.com">I want URLS</a> this is a test';
echo preg_replace('/^<a href="[-:_.\/a-zA-Z0-9]+">[-:_.\/a-zA-Z0-9]+<\/a>/','',$string);

[Maq]

/a href="?([:\/\w\s\d\.]*)"?/

<?php
$subject = 'this is a test <a href="www.iwanturl.com">I want URLS</a> this is a test';
$pattern = '/a href="?([:\/\w\s\d\.]*)"?/i';
preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>

[phpcodec]

It works but it doesnt work if their is multiple hyperlinks in the string

[flyhoney]

<?php
$subject = 'this is a test <a href="www.iwanturl.com">I want URLS</a> this is a test';
$pattern = '/a href="?([:\/\w\s\d\.]*)"?/i';
preg_match_all($pattern, $subject, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>

Excellent, but still one more problem

 

instead of getting the full url like this "downloadfile.php?file=xxx.zip" it just gets "downloadfile.php"

You should ask this question in the regex forum, they can offer better help there.

Yes, please just mark this as solved and start a new thread in the Regex section with what you have.
