regex for replacing a href into img src

[Duncan85]

This regex seems to be wrong

 

$message = ' <a href="http//anyaddress.com/image.jpg">This is my image</a> and  <a href="http://www.mysite.com">this is my site</a>'; 

$message = preg_replace('~(<a)( href="(?:ht|f)tps?://(?=(??:[^"<>\/]*?)\.)?localhost\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/)(?:[^"]*?)"(?:[^>]*?)\>(?:.*?)</a>)~i', '<img src="$1" alt="" />', $message);

 

localhost is example site,i want to make it for any site

 

Like subject is already saying,i am trying to detect all images and make them visible as images,better to say

 

I try to make this

 

<a href="http//anyaddress.com/image.jpg">This is my image</a>

 

like this

 

<img src="http//anyaddress.com/image.jpg" alt="" />

As i can't modify the first post anymore,i will show the last version of what i have

 

$message = preg_replace('~<a href="(.*?)(\.(?i)(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp))">(.*?)(\.(?i)(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp))</a>~i', '<img src=\"\\1$2\" alt=\"\" />', $message);

 

Still it doesn't work,can someone tell me,where is the problem

Hi,

 

I know it's been a while, but have you (or anyone else) ever managed to get this to work? I need exactly the same functionality. Or did you perhaps find another way to resolve this?

 

thanks in advance,
