Please tell me how to preg_match
font names from the Google Fonts URL.
For example, I want to extract the font name from:
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab
in order to get the font names Oswald
and Roboto Slab
.
Here's an example of what you might do with preg_replace(), however be careful data mining Google.
<?php
$urls = array("http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300",
"http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab");
$patterns = array(
//replace the path root
'!^http://fonts.googleapis.com/css\?!',
//capture the family and avoid and any following attributes in the URI.
'!(family=[^&:]+).*$!',
//delete the variable name
'!family=!',
//replace the plus sign
'!\+!');
$replacements = array(
"",
'$1',
'',
' ');
foreach($urls as $url){
$font = preg_replace($patterns,$replacements,$url);
echo $font;
}
?>
You can avoid regexp's
$parsedUrl = parse_url($url);
$queryString = $parsedUrl['query'];
$parsedQueryString = parse_str($queryString);
$fontName = array_shift(explode(':', $parsedQueryString['family']));
$idealFontName = urldecode($fontName);
echo $idealFontName;
