Simple Regex Question

[Lukeidiot]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to match this word in the following html:

 

<a class="blog_name" href="/blog/matchme">

 

I am trying to fetch the "matchme"

 

I have tried using

 

preg_match_all('/href="\/blog\/(.*)">/', $data, $matches);

 

However this does not work. Any times?

It's should to be right:

preg_match('/href="\/blog\/([a-z0-9A-Z]*)"/',$data,$matches);

Works for me:

 

> php -a
Interactive shell

php > $data = '<a class="blog_name" href="/blog/matchme">';
php > preg_match_all('/href="\/blog\/(.*)">/', $data, $matches);
php > print_r($matches);
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => href="/blog/matchme">
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => matchme
        )

)

 

.. Which suggests it's the way you're using it. Can you post all the relevant code?
