PHP Regex

[mrnightowl]

Having a small problem with regex that I thought was working properly. Trying to match just the img src value ie. http://www.site.com/pic.jpg ...Currently using this regex in my pregmatch

<\s*img [^\>]*src=\"([^\">]+)/is",$buff,$match);

I want just the source no matter what follows src or is before src
Like this for example:

<img src="http://www.site.com/pic.jpg" style="border-width:0px;">
<img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.site.com/pic.jpg">

Using same regex I want to return only the src url. I'm missing something simple in my regex but I can't seem to see it..

Give this a shot:
'/\<img.+src="([^"]+)"[^\>]*\>/Usi'

'/\<img.+src="([^"]+)"[^\>]*\>/Usi'

no go...unexpected T here I'll post the preg match to give an idea maybe.. dunno stumping me why it works with some but not others...

preg_match("/<a id=\"images\" href=\"http:\/\/somesite.com\">.*?<\s*img [^\>]*src=\"([^\">]+)/is",$buff,$match);

$image = $match[1]

That regex looks nothing like what I posted.

crap sorry didn't realize i did that so much stuff open...

preg_match("/<a id=\"images\" href=\"http:\/\/somesite.com\">'/\<img.+src="([^"]+)"[^\>]*\>/Usi',$buff,$match);



Producing: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '('
If I correct the unexpected ( is when I get the other error

It could possibly have something to do with that anchor tag, and you mixing the single/double quotes up.

Ok so using that regex and after fixing the unexpected variables and t string.. I ran it like this:

preg_match("/<a id=\"images\" href=\"http:\/\/somesite.com\">'.*?<img.+src=\"([^\"]+)[^\>]*>/Uis",$buff,$match);


With no luck no errors but not giving just source on tags that have border and alt attributes it returns <img border="0" alt="" src="http://www......
Those img files with just <img src=".... it does return just the URL fine same as before with the method I originally used

Got this all squared away the other day... but I wanted to share a great REGEX tool link that I found in the process. Works awesome for figuring out your problems. Thanks all... laters

Aaah very nice... added it to my list.
I see regular expression based questions come up on here alot... good to have some resources to mark down for future issues.
