php 'n' reg exp

[scorpion]

Hey, I've been looking at reg exp for a while now...ok....a few days...and i can't be the only one who thinks it looks like a tin of spaghetti.

Say I have an anchor tag:

<a href="dynamic.php?page=mytest">My Test</a>

How can I use reg exp to change that anchor tag to:

<a href="mytest.html">My Test</a>

I hope someone can help :)

Dunno exactly what you want,

but does the user click on the link? or is that link a string? :confused:

I didn't try this code,but it will give you a hint

function myget($str) {
$temp = preg_replace("/(>(.+)<)/iU",\\2,$str);
$str = preg_replace("/(\"(.+)page=(.+)\")/iU",\\3,$str);
$str .= .html;
return("<a href=\"$str\">$temp</a>");
}

I really hope it's working :\

Hey,
