[bad76]

Hi
i have to extract the address from href, but this code don't strip the ending quote....

this code

$page=preg_replace ("/(<a\/?)(.)(href?=)(\"|)(.)(\")(.*)([^{>]?>)/ei","'\1\2\3http://test/navigator/navigator.php?site=$site&page='.str_replace('&','%26',stripslashes('\5')).'\7\8'",$page);}

give me

www.somewhere.ext" <-- with ending quote!!!

Can any one help me?

Um, at a glance it appears to be working for me:

$re='/(<a\/?)(.*)(href?=)("|)(.*)(")(.*)([^>]?>)/ei';
$page = 'Foobar <a href="http://www.google.com/"> wibble';
preg_match($re, $addr, $m);
$page=preg_replace ($re,"'\\1....\\8'",$page);
print_r($m);
echo $page;

But I see other problems - such as the fact that you ought to be using urlencode() rather than str_replace; f? I take to be a typo for f ?; most importantly, it looks as though you allow the attribute value to be quoted with " or nothing, but then you required the attribute value to be ended with ". I suspect however that fixing that may cause more problems.

I've given a regexp for matching the href attribute of an <a> tag a couple of times before. Rather than repeat the post, I'll give a link here.
