Search for URLs in a string

[SlavaVB]

Hi I was able to make an App in VB that extracts all text with in all href = " text here " and placed it in an array, but php doesnt seem to have naything equivalant to the VB instr function. Does anyone know a good way to do it in php?

Thanks

You could almost certainly put it together with some suitable calls to strstr(), substr() and/or strpos().

I don't recall instr()'s exact behaviour right now, so I'm not going to confuse you by bothering to try.

But it sounds like a preg_match_all() regexp might get the bits you want faster.

preg_match_all('/<a[^>]+href="([^"]+)"[^>]*>/is',$html,$matches);

loosely speaking.
