PHP: Regex (Preg_match_all) To get all links
Posted on 2011-03-17
I have the following:
preg_match_all("'HREF=\"([
$messageBody,
$linkHrefs, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
This works great if the link is correct (and has "" I believe). What the issue is if someone does this
<a href = "http://test.com"> <-- notice the spaces between href =
Another one could be
<a href='http://test.com'> <-- using ' instead of "
Is there any way to modify my regex so that it handles this alot more and gets MOST, if not all links, regardless of 100% perfection?
Thank you!

I would suggest using a delimiter other than single quote, but it is of course not mandatory = )
preg_match_all("'HREF\s*=\s*\"([^>]*?)\"(.*?)'is",
$messageBody,
$linkHrefs, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
