preg_match grab URL

[roman1290]

Hello dear experts,

 

I'm having trouble using pre_match to select the location of an icon from HTML:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.website.com/icon.png" type="image/png" />

 

and I would like to store this string: http://www.website.com/icon.png

 

So far I've been trying use:    /(<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="(.*)" \/>)/i

 

but it selects:    http://www.website.com/icon.png" type="image/png

 

I would like to select just the URL. I know this must be simple, but I'm new to regular expressions, and search results have not been able to help me thus far, and I desperately need to get this to work.

 

Thank you in advance.

Change the (.*) to (.*?) to make it ungreedy.

Thank you very much,

 

I changed it to:    /(<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="(.*?)")/i

 

and it works every time.
