Find an url?

[Warptweet]

I'm trying to read url's off of a website page by reading it's source code and locating http://www.??????.com/???? etc.

 

<embed src="http://www.somewebsite.com/someflash.swf" width="somewidth height="someheight">

 

Is it possible to locate a code in the source of a web page, except the exact link "http://www.somewebsite.com/someflash.swf" can be replaced with like %%%%%%%%%% so it simply finds it's similiar match? Otherwise I need to put in the exact url, and I want to search for all http urls instead.

 

Any tips or ideas on how to accomplish are appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Yes, firstly you need to get the contents of the website. In most cases, file_get_contents() will do - though in more complex cases, you'll need to use cURL.

 

Then, you'll need to use regular expressions to find the links: preg_match() or ereg()

 

There's also a sub forum for regex:
