[SOLVED] replace hyperlinks with plain text

[mysterbx]

Hello,

 

I searching a lot of messages in these forums but couldnt find a code to replace

 

<a href='http:/links.com'>link< /a>

<a href='http:/links2.com'>link2< /a>

<a href='http:/links3.com'>link3< /a>

<a href='http:/links4.com'>link4< /a>

 

into

 

http://links.com

http://links2.com

http://links3.com

http://links4.com

 

This should be possible...

You want

 

<a href='http://links.com'>link[/url]

 

to be turned in to links or did you mean

 

[url=http://links.com]link[/url]

[mysterbx]

// nothing here

http://links.com

// nothing here

 

[mysterbx]

just simple text, no hyperlinks

 

http://links.com

You could use RegEx if you want to extract a bunch of URLs from a string.

 

<?php
$string = '<a href="http://link.com/">Link</a>
<a href="http://link2.com/">Link2</a>
<a href="http://link3.com/">Link3</a>
<a href="http://link4.com/">Link4</a>';
preg_match_all('|<a href="(.*?)">|', $string, $matches);
print_r($matches[1]);
// Array
//(
//    [0] => http://link.com/
//    [1] => http://link2.com/
//    [2] => http://link3.com/
//    [3] => http://link4.com/
//)
?>

this is kinda simple as it dun check for anything but what ya have given

preg_replace('@<a href=[\'\"]([^\s]+)[\'\"]>.*</a>@im','$1',$body);

[mysterbx]

umm... i tried both codes, preg replace doesnt work.. and preg_match_all outputs like this

 

Array

is it possible to do this:

if href="" contains whitespace/space \s then do not add this link, but if not add it...

preg_replace works perfect here, not shure how u tested it.

<?php
$string = '<a href="http://link.com/">Link</a>
<a href="http://link2.com/">Link2</a>
<a href="http://link3.com/">Link3</a>
<a href="http://link4.com/">Link4</a>';
$string=preg_replace('@<a href=[\'\"]([^\s]+)[\'\"]>.*</a>@im','$1',$string);
echo "<pre>$string</pre>";
?>

[mysterbx]

it works now

 

one last question... is it possible to find only the url, and ignore all target="_blank", target="_new", style="anything", just replace all the <a href> tags and show the links only?

 

now it only works with <a href="anythinghere"> but it wouldnt work with <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="anythinghere" target="_blank">...

[laffin]

$string=preg_replace('@<a .*href=[\'\"]([^\s]+)[\'\"].*>.*</a>@im','$1',$string);

 

[mysterbx]

works like a charm!!!

 

thx a lot!
