I was parsing A:HREF, IMG:SRC, etc. But when I implemented a new feature on my network, where you could click on a row and have it take you to another domain, I need a better solution. Go to http://www.enetwizard.ws and it might make more sense. All the links on the left have an ONCLICK=location.href = '' attribute in the TR tag. This solution allowed me to make sure those links included the session information, just like the A:HREF links do. It also had the advantage of updating the links in my CSS. O that breaks accessibility standards! Compliment the 'onclick's with onkeydown at least :) But still you get a solid onclick=... scenario If these are visible in the source then they are fairly easy to pick out Though you may need more than 1 regex ;) My complaint here is, don't break accessibility :) And don't forget the folks who have javascript turned off or are using text based browsers too.

From what I gather you wish to extract urls from text?
if so..
function getLinks($string){
// regex to get the links
preg_match_all(|http:?([^\' ]+)|i, $string, $arrayoflinks);
return $arrayoflinks;
}

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's
I am trying to get all of the urls in a web document, so that I can append information to the urls when needed (when the url points to a domain that resides on my server). It allows me to pass session information across the domains of my network. Currently, I use a class I wrote to handle this, but it only works when it finds the urls in a standard html tag. I need to expand upon this, so that it also finds urls that are in onclick events, for example.

I wasn't being rude. Although even If I was commanding me stop is rather

the argument that the length of time spent programming automatically

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER]
In case any one is looking for a solution to a similar problem as me, here is the answer. I used the code from my original post as my guiding light, and with some experimentation, I figured it out. To get any URL, regardless of where it is located, use this: preg_match_all(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, $content, $matches); This match anything similar to: 'http://www.domain.com/dir/dir/file.txt?query=blah' This is useful, if for example, you have a tag like this one: A HREF=javascript:void(0); ONCLICK=javascript:window.open = 'http://www.domain.com/dir/dir/file.txt?query=blah'; Now, for tags which are in quotes, rather than single quotes, just use: preg_match_all(#\http://(.*)\#U, $content, $matches); This is really only the first step. In order to be useful, you need a way to process these urls according to your own specific needs: preg_match_all(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, $content, $matches); $content = preg_replace(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, '###URL###', $content); This will modify the $content variable to change all urls to ###URL### You can then go through them one at a time to process them: for ($count = 0; $count count($matches[1]); $count++) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Anything simpler than that is just a substr or explode. Anything more complicated, and I just don't want to try to maintain the mess of not-quite-random characters needed to make a so-called pattern and I'll find some other way to break the problem down into sub-problems.

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER]
In my opinion, it is the most reasonable solution. I have looked all over the web for something else, but this works perfectly for me. It's impossible to tell where an url starts and ends if you don't have it in quotes or single quotes. If someone really needs to find all the urls in a page, then they'll code their pages to make use of this limitation. -Original Message- From: Chrome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 8:24 PM To: 'Robert Samuel White'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER] -Original Message- From: Robert Samuel White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 May 2006 01:16 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER] All pages used by my content management system must be in a valid format. Old-school style pages are never created so the solution I have come up with is perfect for my needs. Thank you. Doesn't that make it a proprietary solution? IMHO offering the regex may create a false situation for people...

I was parsing A:HREF, IMG:SRC, etc. But when I implemented a new feature on my network, where you could click on a row and have it take you to another domain, I need a better solution. Go to http://www.enetwizard.ws and it might make more sense. All the links on the left have an ONCLICK=location.href = '' attribute in the TR tag. This solution allowed me to make sure those links included the session information, just like the A:HREF links do. It also had the advantage of updating the links in my CSS. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

O that breaks accessibility standards! Compliment the 'onclick's with onkeydown at least :) But still you get a solid onclick=... scenario If these are visible in the source then they are fairly easy to pick out Though you may need more than 1 regex ;) My complaint here is, don't break accessibility :) Dan -- http://chrome.me.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
