qlogix,

You just need help getting the links with a regex right?  If so please provide a sample of the html that you would get which contains the links.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Here is the example:

<td valign="top" class="postbody"><div class="postbody_div">
<hr />
<img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/warezsharez_december/i-sound.gif" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" />

<span style="font-weight:bold">i-Sound WMA MP3 Recorder</span> turn your computer into complete home recording studio. You can record streaming audio into MP3, OGG, WMA, APE, WAV format sound file directly without costing any other disk space. Built-in scheduler allows you to record streaming audio from specified URL at predefined time. VOX system automatically monitors the input source and activates streaming recording when the input volume reaches a specified level. The recording automatically stops once the audio level drops below a specified threshold. Typical applications:
 
<br />
 
<br />
    * Convert <span style="font-weight:bold">Cassette</span> or <span style="font-weight:bold">LP</span> to MP3
<br />
    * <span style="font-weight:bold">Record Radio</span> with built-in scheduler

Thanks for the sample?  A complex regex to id ANY url could be more than we need.  Will all the urls you want be http?  Do you want all urls or do you want just those in the anchor tag, just in the table cell, or where?  Will they all be rapidshare.com?

bol

Oops.  I didn't need a question mark on that first sentence.  Sorry. :)

bol

Yes I only want the rapidshare.com links, they will all be http:// however there may be either rapidshare.com or rapidshare.de links.  I would like them to be matchable from anywhere in the source since alot of people dont place them in the "Code" tag on the forum.

OK.  Thanks.  I realize I overlooked the answer to one of my questions.  The code below should do it.

preg_match_all('/http(?::|:)\/\/rapidshare\.(?:com|de)\/[-A-Z0-9.]+\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|!:,.;]*/i', $subject, $result, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
$result = $result[0];

It assumes the html is in the variable $subject.  It will then put the resulting array in a variable named $result.  Let me know if you have a question or need more info.

Umm, neither of those seem to work. I tested them on another site that is similar to my clients and it said that there was no matches for either of them.

the page I tested on was : http://www.warez-bb.org/viewtopic.php?t=1061942

Ok that worked, apparently my server is having a problem accessing the site. Thanks!!

Thanks for your help!!

Your welcome!  If the problem doesn't go away when the site works again then it may be the contents of that page.  If there is a big difference in the html in each page then it could make it so the script won't find a match.

I'm glad I could help.  Thanks for the grade, the points and the fun question.
