Small PHP preg_replace question.

agasonex · 02-26-2006, 08:09 PM

Hi, i've never been too good with preg_replaces, and was wondering what I would use to replace
<img src="imageurl" border="0">
with
<a href="imageurl">imageurl</a>

Thanks for any help, will give rep. =)

PHP Code:

  <?php

$string="<img src=\"imageurl\" border=\"0\">";

 
$new = explode('"',$string);

$new_string = "<a href=\"$new[1]\">$new[1]</a>";

 
echo $new_string;

?>

tested and works (w/o using preg_replace tho)

Thanks for the help, but it doesn't quite work with what I'm trying to do. Sorry about that, I should have been more specific.

I'm trying to get it on my forum so users can choose to have images replaced with a link to the image.
So it would have to be able to replace all of the "<img src="~~" of a text field.

Gave you a rep+ anyway though.

Tested this, and it works:

PHP Code:

  <?php

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/171632-small-php-preg_replace-question.html
 
$blah = '<img src="blahblah.gif" border="0">';

 
preg_match('/<img src="(.*?)" border="0">/si', $blah, $matches);

$new = preg_replace('@<img src=".*?" border="0">@si', '<a href="'.$matches[1].'">'.$matches[1].'</a>', $blah);

 
echo $new;

 
?>
