Extracting an url out of a string

[djneel]

Hello everyone,

How can I turn this:

[code]
$title = "<h2><a href="index.html">The Index Page</a></h2>";
[/code]

Into this:

[code]
$urlFromTitle = "index.html";
[/code]

I just don't understand the PHP manual.
Thanks in advance!

You need the explode() command.

array explode ( string delimiter, string string [, int limit] )

So,

[code]$title = "<h2><a href="index.html">The Index Page</a></h2>"; //This assignment statement wont work
$kapow=explode('href="',$title);
$secondBlast = explode('"',$kapow[1]);

$urlFromTitle=$secondBlast[0];
[/code]

The $title assignment line wont work, so I'm guessing you have that string assigned in some other way.

Off course, how silly of me...

[code]$title = "<h2><a href=\"index.html\">The Index Page</a></h2>";[/code]

Thank you very much!
It worked like a charm!
