strings,substrings and regul expressions

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm trying for now 3 months working on a script that only has to give me the url of the first .jpg file that it finds in a string but it doesn't work.

All I got till now is this :

$fcontents = file ('http://us.imdb.com/Title?0209163');
while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents));
$fcontents = join ('', file ($sitepathh.'http://us.imdb.com/Title?0209163'));

$string2=ereg_replace("(.http🙂(..)(jpg.*)","\2",$fcontents);

echo $string2;// <- This should show the URL of the image.

Can somebody please help me ??

PLeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi,

try this:

function get_first_pic($file) {
$fc = join('', file($file));
preg_match_all("/src='\" ['\" ]/i", $fc, $ca);
reset($ca);
while (list(, $value) = each ($ca[1])) {
if($value != "" && $value != "") {
$first = $value;
break;
}
}
if(isset($first)) {
return $first;
} else {
return false;
}
}

$file = "http://us.imdb.com/Title?0209163";
print(get_first_pic($file));
