preg_match_all

[supermerc]

Hey, im using curl to get a page and I would like to use preg_match_all to find links that start with something.

 

for example the links look something like this:

 

http://quiver.outwar.com/joinraid.php?raidid=379141&h=abc0bbf0b2e4acfec4b6dc7a3a05557b

 

but the raidid changes every time so i need to grab all the links that start with

http://quiver.outwar.com/joinraid.php?raidid= so I can get the raid id from each.

 

can anyone help me with the regex?

preg_match_all('~<a[^>]*href\s?=\s?["\']http://quiver.outwar.com/joinraid.php\?raidid=([^"\']*)"~i',$content,$matches);

 

[supermerc]

I added print_r($matches); to test it and I get

 

Array ( [0] => Array ( ) [1] => Array ( ) )

 

and i know for a fact there is atleast one result

so in my example, I used $content to represent the page you are cURLing.  Are you using the right variable there? If so, did you echo it out to make sure you're actually getting the content? If so, post an example of the  link (and some of the content surrounding it) from what you what you retrieved from your cURL.

$data = $result1;
echo $data;
preg_match_all('~<a[^>]*href\s?=\s?["\']http://quiver.outwar.com/joinraid.php\?raidid=([^"\']*)"~i',$data,$matches);
print_r($matches);

Okay so you posted it as if it were an absolute link. Well looking at the source they have it as a relative link.  So what are you going to do to modify that regex?
