PCRE--match that don't have http://, https://, or ftp://

i have been working on this for hours and have looked everywhere, i just can figure out how do i match the urls in the <a > tags in some html if it doesn't have an http of ftp protocol

i want it to match things like this

<a href="list.php">
<a href="httpphp.php">

but not this

<a href="http://site.com" >

here is what i got so far

Code:

preg_match('/<a(.*?)href(\s)*=(\s)*(\'|")*(http:\/\/|https:\/\/|ftp:\/\/){0}(.*?)(\'|")*(.*?)>/i',$html);

but this will match all examples i put above

EDIT:::
fixed the escape charcters

the php code tags strip the slashes form it, you have to use the [code] tags.

do this instead

PHP Code:


		
			
 $link = "<a href=\"list.php\">";

if(ereg("https|http|ftp", $link)){

    // do something if it matches

   // or do the oppostie.

}

i don't think i can do that, i am editing all the <a href="blah" > tags in an html page and i'm going to use preg_replace() (unless there is an easier way), and have to do different things if it doesn't have the protocol, also i want it to match blah.php?http://blah i only want it to not match it if it is the first part of the url

Hi

If your wanting to match all of these then why not use preg_match_all, it will give you more control....

Example.....

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$file = file_get_contents('http://forums.devshed.com/t105636/s.html');

preg_match_all('!(<a href=(\\\\'|")?(http|ftp)?(s)?(.*?)(\\\\'|")?>)!is', $file, $matches);

$links = array();

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($matches[3]); $i++){

if(empty($matches[3][$i])){

$links[] = $matches[0][$i];

}

}

unset($matches);

print_r($links);

?>

You can refine the preg_match_all, I just did it quick for the example!

F!

i want to match just the ones that don't start with ftp://, http:// or https:// so it can be used in preg_replace(); i don't know how i would use preg_match_all to do this

here is what i am using, now, i just have to get the match part right

PHP Code:


		
			
 $page = preg_replace('/<a(.*?)href(\\s)*=(\\s)*(\\'|")*(http|https|ftp){0}(.*?)(\'|")*(.*?)>/i',

    '<a1href2=34'.$this_page.'?url='.$url_parts['scheme'].'://'.$url_parts['host'].$path_parts['dirname'].'/\\6\\7\\8>',$page);

edit---had to escape the escape things

Hi

Look at view source, not the browser output!

try

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( !preg_match('/^(http(s)?:\\/\\/|ftp:\\/\\/)/i', $string) )

{

  // ...

}

it matches any string with no http://, https://, or ftp:// in the beggining of it.

i did a print_R of both $matches and $links and here is what i get

Code:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
        )

    [5] => Array
        (
        )

    [6] => Array
        (
        )

    [7] => Array
        (
        )

    [8] => Array
        (
        )

)
Array
(
)

there is nothing there and nothing that can point me in the right direction on what to change

Hi

Are you viewing the source? You have to select "VIEW SOURCE" to see the array values, because they are links <a href=>, and can not be seen without viewing the web page source!

Here is my example.... (using htmlspecialchars) so you can see the result in the browser
