preg_match Help

[runthis]

Im not new to php at all, but havent had the need to use preg_match

I want to get all the links off of a page, but i want the href, not the class or title or anything

heres what i have to get the links

 

<a\s[^>]*href=(\"??)(\/stuff[^\" >]*?)\\1[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>

 

that matches any link that starts with /stuff

I would use something like:

 

"/href=['\"]([^'\"]+)['\"]/"

 

[runthis]

How would i add that to this

 

<a\s[^>]*href=(\"??)(\/stuff[^\" >]*?)\\1[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>

You wouldn't.  What I gave you will get what is inside the href quotes.  You'll have to be more specific about what you want, maybe with an example URL.  Also, to get all links you'll need preg_match_all().

okay, what i want is to grab all the link starting with "/stuff" and filter out everything else, thats what i meant sorry.

Not tested but should work:

 

preg_match_all("#href=['\"](/stuff[^'\"]+)['\"]#", $source, $matches);
print_r($matches);

Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Unknown modifier 't'

Did you notice that I am now using # as the delimiters instead of / ?

Absolutely posted your example exactly

Dunno, works for me:

 

$source='<a href="/stuff/test.php?foo=bar">click</a>';
preg_match_all("#href=['\"](/stuff[^'\"]+)['\"]#", $source, $matches);
print_r($matches);

 

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => href="/stuff/test.php?foo=bar"
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => /stuff/test.php?foo=bar
        )

)
