This question is an exact duplicate of:
How would I make a regex
to extract urls
from a page where I am matching to a center part of a url
For example my urls to match would be something like:
http://m2.imageserver.net/media/thumb/66177422433.jpg
http://m4.imageserver.net/media/thumb/21717623342.jpg
http://m1.imageserver.net/media/thumb/12327722433.jpg
And I want to match by just the imageserver.net/media
section of the url as the sub domain may change.
</div>
Your regex would be http://[a-zA-Z0-9]+.imageserver.net+[a-zA-Z0-9/]+.jpg
.
Advice: Before trying out on code, please check using regexpal. It's basically a javascript regex tester.
Update: Adding a delimiter:
$match_pattern = "#http:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+.imageserver.net+[a-zA-Z0-9\/]+.jpg#";
preg_match_all($match_pattern,$string_to_be_matched,$url_array);
I have try this one for you. maybe it can help you though.
$text = "http://m2.imageserver.net/media/thumb/66177422433.jpg";
$text = preg_match("/imageserver.net\/media/", $text, $match);
print_r($match);
If I totally understand your question this might be the answer.
I don't use regex much but I think this might work.
$string = "jjYy5nhttp://m2.imageserver.net/media/thumb/66177422433.jpgru56rtjr";
$pattern = "/http:\/\/[^0-9a-zA-Z_ -].imageserver.net\/media\/(.*?).jpg/";
if (@preg_match_all(${pattern}, ${string}, $matches) ) {
print $matches['0'];
}
