[SOLVED] preg_replace only replaces the last match

[cleggy]

Hi - I'm trying to add a class to any PDF links. The following almost works, but only replaces the last match!

 

$pattern = '/(<a.+href.*=.*".+\.pdf")(.*>)(.*<\/a>)/';

$replacement = '$1 class="pdfLink"$2$3';

$string = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);

 

Can you please tell me how to make it replace all matches?

 

Thanks!

Your modifiers are greedy. Make them ungreedy by following them with a question mark, or use the /U modifier.

Thank you! And thanks so much for the quick response!
