preg match all

[ted_chou12]

Hi, I have multiple content that i wish to capture, so im using preg match all:

$content1 = '......<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=48" class="readmore">Read more</a>
		<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=48#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>
....<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=47" class="readmore">Read more</a>

		<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=47#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>...
<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=46" class="readmore">Read more</a>
		<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=46#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>...........

 

preg_match_all("/<a\shref=\"\/users\/blog\.php\?user=ted_chou12\&id=(.*?)\"\sclass=\"readmore\">Read\smore<\/a>/s", $content1, $pagearray, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

I wish to get the id numbers into an array, but this code only seems to get one:

ideal output:

48,47,46...

real

48 (only)

so how should I change it to output all the id numbers in the content,

Thanks,

Ted

Change the (.*?) to (\d+)

 

The reason is because your capturing group (that which needs changed) was grabbing more than you want it to. For example, here's your string with the original matches highlighted:

Key: no match, match, group 1.

......<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=48" class="readmore">Read more</a>

        <a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=48#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>

....<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=47" class="readmore">Read more</a>

 

        <a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=47#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>...

<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=46" class="readmore">Read more</a>

        <a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=46#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>....

[/pre]

 

Compare that with using (\d+):

....<a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=47" class="readmore">Read more</a>

 

        <a href="/users/blog.php?user=ted_chou12&id=47#comments" class="comments">Comments (0)</a>...
