Parsing HTML files using RegEx

[Anon]

I need to parse an HTML file find all occurances of local URL calls and insert a fully qualified path in their place (ie <a href="test.html"> becomes <a href="http://www.server.com/mydir/test.html">

I've been looking into using eregi_replace to do it but get the feeling I might be barking up the wrong tree ...

Any help gratefully accepted ..

Nope, right tree. You don't need the extra variables, but I used them for readability.

Add html file to a string, i.e. $html

$search_url = "<a href=\"test.html\">";
$replace_url = "<a href=\"http://www.server.com/mydir/test.html\">";

$html = ereg_replace($search_url, $replace_url, $html);

----- or -------

$html = ereg_replace("<a href=\"test.html\">","<a href=\"http://www.server.com/mydir/test.html\">", $html);

You can try this... I didn't test the code, but its worth a try, right? 🙂

// Load source file
$source_file = join('',"index.html");

// Replaces all href="" and src="" tags to have full path
$source_file = preg_replace("~(href|src)\=\"([^{\"]*)\"~","\1\=\"http://www.server.com/mydir/\2\"",$source_file);}

// Display fixed HTML code
echo $source_file;

You can give something like that a try... Let me know how that works :p
