evanct Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Someday I'll figure out how to write regular expressions. But for now I'm trying to see if the given string is formatted as an html link. this doesn't work: preg_match('^<a href=("|\')[.]("\')>[.](</a>)$',$value) Could you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

.josh Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 if you're just looking for a generic "are there anchor tags around this?" check: preg_match('~^<a[^>]*>.*?</a>$~i',$value); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
