Manipulating Strings

dgburton

Hi!

I've got lots of HTML content stored in a database, when I pull this info out of the DB all the links are relational - ie <IMG SRC="images/animage.gif">, what I need is a piece of PHP that will go through the string I pull from the DB - and replace every instance of 'images/' with 'http://www.mydomain/~mysite/images/' so I can stick the HTML code on any site and the links will still work as they will be explicit not relational.

If anyone could help I'd be most appretiative,

Many thanks 🙂

try this

<?php
$image="image/anyimages.gif";
$image=ereg_replace("image","http://www.mydomain/~mysite/images",$image);
echo $image;
?>

$string = ereg_replace( "images/", "http://www.mydomain/~mysite/images/", $string );

Thanks 🙂

I actually need it so search through an entire string full of HTMl though - ie the string would be:

$theString = "<html><head></head<body><img src="images/1.gif"><br><br><h1>hello</h1><img src="images/2.gif"></body></html>

I would then need PHP to go through the string and change every single instance of 'image/' to 'http://www.mydomain.com/~mysite/'

🙂 🙂

If anyone knows of how this can be done please let me know!

many thanks 🙂

works if $string is your HTML...

thx for your help Bunkermaster 🙂

Except ereg_replace is a cumbrous way of doing something that could quite happily be handled by str_replace...
