Hi I may have misread your post (I do that a lot :) ) but might this help?
<? $string = 'http://localhost/m-ysite/editor/plugins/../../../images/image.jpg'; preg_match('/http:\/\/(.+)(\/images\/.+)/i', $string, $match); var_dump($match); ?> This gives you: array(3) { [0]=> string(65) "http://localhost/mysite/editor/plugins/../../../images/image.jpg"; [1]=> string(41) "localhost/m-ysite/editor/plugins/../../.." [2]=> string(17) "/images/image.jpg" } HTH Dan -----Original Message----- From: loren wolsiffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 February 2006 20:57 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [wdvltalk] Regex help >I am working with an editor that makes two different link structures >depending on the browser used to insert the images. > >$MyFile = 'http://localhost/m-ysite/images/image.jpg'; >$MyFile = >'http://localhost/m-ysite/editor/plugins/../../../images/image.jpg'; > >I am really looking for a relative path to the image and want to remove >everything before "images". >I am trying to get this expression(s) to work and it is showing a match. >I just cannot get it to return or replace the targeted words. > > > if (eregi("http( |[a-z0-9:/.-])*images",$MyFile)) >{ >$MyFile2 = (eregi("http( |[a-z0-9:/.-])*images",$MyFile)); > >$pattern = (eregi("http( |[a-z0-9:/.-])*images",$MyFile)); >$replacement = ''; >$MyFile3 = eregi_replace($pattern, $replacement, $MyFile); > >echo"<br>$MyFile"; // retuns the string >echo"<br>$MyFile2"; // retuns the number "1" ?? >echo"<br>$MyFile3<br>"; // retuns the whole string again >} > >I know to escape some chars but also cannot figure out how to add _ to the >regex > >If there is an _ in the url it does not match and no matter what I do I >cannot work it in. > >If someone can help get the trimmed string into a variable I can work with >it. Hi all. I made a change to the regex and it does exactly what I want as far as the _ goes. (eregi("http.+images",$MyFile)) I am still stuck with how to echo the end result either images/image.jpg or image.jpg somehow it seems so basic but I am just not getting it thank you Loren _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
