[SOLVED] Finding a url and storing in a variable

[edking1]

Hi everyone

 

This is probably quite simple but I've spent hours tearing my hair out trying to get something to work..

 

Say I have the following :

 

$text = "blah blah blah <img src = \"someUrl.com\" /> blah blah <img src = \"anotherUrl.com\" /> blah";

 

How would I go about taking each of the src Urls and placing them into an array?

 

I'd massively appreciate any help!

 

Thanks

There are dozens of patterns about for simply matching urls, which can be found easily. If you only wish to match url's that are in the src"" attribute of an image tag then you could use something like...

 

$input = '"blah blah blah <img src="someUrl.com" /> blah blah <img src="anotherUrl.com" /> blah"';
preg_match_all('~<img.*?src=("|\')([^\1]+?)\1~is', $input, $out);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($out);
echo '</pre>';

 

Note: I removed the spaces around the equal signs and the escape characters in my example. If they are actually there in the source you will need to include them in the pattern.

That worked perfectly!

Thank you SO much, you've really helped me out here.
