ereg_replace experts wanted

[Anon]

Hi,

I need to replace the url of an <img src:

Example:
This:
<img src="http://host/images/myimage.gif" width="100" height="50">

should be converted into:
<img src="pictures/myimage.gif" width="100" height="50">

this means I need to convert http://host/images/ --> pictures/

Anyone had a similar problem so post me a little code to check. Thanks in advance

$sLine = '<img src="http://host/images/myimage.gif" width="100" height="50">' ;
$sNewLine = preg_replace( "/(<img\s+?src\s?=\s?[\"\'])(.?)([^{\/]+?.[\/]+?)([\"\'].})/i", "\1pictures/\3\4", $sLine ) ;

Look at the code below.
May be this is what you want.
The replace is case insensitive.

<?php
// someting with quotes and more than one space
$imgString[0]= '<img sRc="http://a.host.com/images/myimage1.gif" width="100" height="50"> ';

// without quotes
$imgString[1]= '<IMG sRc=http://a.host.com/images/myimage2.jpg width="100" height="50"> ';

//not an image
$imgString[2] ="a text , not an img, and doesn't have a src";

for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($imgString); $i++)
print("\n".eregi_replace('(<img[[:space:]]+src=[\'|"]?)./([^/])','\1pictures/\2',$imgString[$i]));

?>

Hi,

Tanks for your post I found a problem in your example

if my string is $sLine='<img src="http://host/images/myimage.gif" width="100" height="50"><img src="http://host/images/myimage.gif" width="100" height="50">'

your preg_replace doesn't work, it just replaces the first <img src
But if the two img src are different it works again. It's only if the two same <img src are present like in my example.

Ok, that's right, so this could be your solution:

$sLine = '<img src="http://host/images/myimage.gif" width="100" height="50"> <img src="http://host/images/myima432ge.gif" width="100" height="50">' ;

$sNewLine = preg_replace( "/(<img\s+?src\s?=\s?[\"\'])(.?)([^{\/]+?.[\/]+?)([\"\'].}?>)/i", "\1pictures/\3\4", $sLine ) ;

tell me your impressions.

Hi

[Anon]

That's exactly what I need. Thanks again for your help

I have just a last question where can I find informations about how to create the search pattern in preg_replace or ereg_replace?

I suggest you read this column:

or the man page of the posix regular expressions:

When I use this expression on the following string :

hello <IMG SRC="..."> <IMG SRC="/img/pic"> <IMG SRC="http://..." ...>

I get the following result:

hello <IMG SRC="/news/img/..."> <IMG SRC="/news/img/..." ...>

The final IMG tag has dissapeared! Solution(s) ?
