preg replace

Hello.

Can someone help me with a regular expression to use with preg_replace?

I have a string with

$path = "c:\dir_images\image_name.gif";

$path = "c:\dir\image_name.gif";

That is, I don't know the dirname, it can be any thing.

Then I need that a string like

$path = "c:\dir_images\image_name.gif";
or
$path = "c:\dir\image_name.gif";
or even
$path = "c:\image_name.gif";

to be transformed into

Like:

"c:(anything)(second_anything).gif"
->
"http://mysite.org/images/(second_anything).gif"

If anyone can help out, I would apreciate.

Thanks.

You can do this without using regular expressions:

$path = "c:\dir_images\image_name.gif";

$newpath = "http://mysite.org/images/" . basename($path);

hope this helps.

try it...
$path = "c:\dir_images\image_name.gif";
echo preg_replace("/.*\(\w{1,}).gif$/i","http://mysite.org/images/\1.gif",$path);

Thanks, seams to work fine.

Thanks for helping but that kinda fails if I have the string between ' like in

$path = "src='c:\mydir\other_dir\image.gif'";

echo "<br>", basename ( $path );

Outputs: image.gif'

Thanks for helping anyways

Now, how could I do this thing:

$path = "text text <img src='(whatever)(whatever filename)'> text text";

Transforms into:

$path = "text text <img src='http://www.my-project-site.org/images/(whatever filename)'> text text";

Thanks.

Try this (may have problem with "deep" paths):
$path = "text1 <img src=somepath\deep\file.ext> text2 <img src=somepath\secondfile.ext> text3";

echo preg_replace("/<img src=.?(\.?)>/i","<img src=otherpath\1>",$path);

Thanks for your time/help.
