Help With regular expressions

[danovio]

Hello folks,
I am an advanced newbie. I have never spent a day in college, and don't know the first thing about programming in C+. I assume that is why I have such a difficult time creating regular expressions!!

Here's my dilema:
$examplehtml='a bunch of text. <br>more text.<img src="somegif.gif."width="122" height="22">Some more text. <img src="anothergif.gif"> etc...................<br> ...more text!!!<img src="gif.gif">';

//Just basically random html..

I need to create some kind of preg_match_all (i think its the best way) that will allow me to search $examplehtml ... find all occurences of {img src"=} and take whats in between that and the ending {"} to basically give me the path/imagename ... I have spent hours trying to make this work, and I can actually get results using ereg. The problem is that I need to extend this a little bit, to allow me to do a foreach(). Somthing like:
foreach($results_of_the_pregmatch as $image){
echo"$image";
}

I can not do this using ereg, and after hours of studying the manual, it seems that my best option would be preg_match_all, but the examples are limited, and I suck at regular expressions(even after going over the tutorials on this site(both 1 and 2 😉), so I am lost. If anyone can offer some assistance, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you for the links to check out. I did indeed check them out, and when I read this I got a headache 😛

$string = 'This is cool - Tutorio.com Tutorials
$bb-replace = array ('/([[Bb]])(.+)([\/[Bb]])/','/([url=)(.+)(])(.+)([\/url])/');
$bb-replacements = array ('<b>\2</b>','<a href="\2">\4</a>');
$string = preg_replace($bb-replace, $bb-replacements, $string);
print $string;

No actually I can understand this, the problem I have is that I dont just want a simple replace. I need to be able to grab each individual img src ... and perform a function on it. The only way I can think to do this is to use foreach(), but I can't see how I could use a for each in this example because the function in this example will stop after it finds one occurence of the string.

Post your ereg pattern, it should be easy to adapt it to work with the preg functions.
