[SOLVED] How to search for a href links in the content

[ted_chou12]

I wish to know the string to use when you are using the function preg match, and grab the link in the a href of the html codes see the eg below:

This is a <a href="link.php">link</a>, please visit!

I wish to know how to get the link.php of the eg. shown using preg match function.

Thanks

sorry, I wish to add something here, I want links of my own domain, so that:

This is a <a href="link.php">link</a>, please visit!

This is a <a href="http://mydomain.com/link.php">link</a>, please visit!

This is a <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/link.php">link</a>, please visit!

Will all work, however:

This is a <a href="http://otherdomains.com/link.php">link</a>, please visit!

This is a <a href="http://www.otherdomains.com/link.php">link</a>, please visit!

will not work.

and whatever form the link is in, I only want the link of my pages in the form link.php, or somedirectory/link.php.

Thanks again.

Are you saying you only want links that point back to you to match?

 

if (preg_match('|<a href="(?(?=http://)http://(?:www\.)?mydomain.com/)(.*?)">.*?</a>|',$value,$match)) echo "$match[1]\n";

 

 

 

Btw, "Talented," not "talanted."

Actually, if you don't need the linked text, you can simplify that slightly:

 

'|<a href="(?(?=http://)http://(?:www\.)?mydomain.com/)(.*?)">|'
