Re: preg_replace Problem

Yeah I figured that part out eventually. I also needed to use \\2 instead of \\1. It now works as long as I don't put the (^http://) in there, but I need that part so that it doesn't modify urls that are already absolute. Here's my updated script: $article = preg_replace("src=\"(^http://)(.*?)\"i","src=\"http://www.blah.com/\\2\"", $article); Thanks for the help Anarchos ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Wiechman" <neteru@aminal.net> To: "Anarchos" <anarchos@apushardware.com> Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 12:01 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] preg_replace Problem > store the results into a variable... > > $new_url = preg_replace(***blah***); > > Ben > > -----Original Message----- > From: Anarchos [mailto:anarchos@apushardware.com] > Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2000 1753 Neteru > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] preg_replace Problem > > > preg_replace("src=\"?(^http://)(.*)\"?iU","src=\"http://www.blah.com/\\1\" > ",$var); > > is the regex that I'm using for an "email this article" script.
