Replacing URL's in included site

Hello,

I am working on including a site with php using file_get_contents().
I have xampp set up so I run everything locally.
The page that I have included is located at sub.domain.dev while I am running the script from the main domain (domain.dev).
Of course doing this will cause all images in the included html page not to load since the img source is not a full url but "img/bg.gif".

As a regex newbie I have managed to replace the img src url of the html page with the full path so they load with this *embarrassing* code....

PHP Code:


		
			
 $site_content = file_get_contents('http://sub.domain.dev/');



$match = '/src="images/';

$url = 'http://sub.domain.dev/';

$replace = 'src="'.$url.'img';



$site_content = preg_replace($match,$replace,$site_content);



echo $site_content;

Though not fancy, it does work...

However, the css won't load due to the wrong path and even if I replaced it will the full path the image url's in the css would be pointing to the wrong source.

So I was thinking if I could get the css file content the same way as I did with the html file_get_contents(), run a preg_replace on all url's and paste it directy into the $site_content it would work.

So I see it like this...

1. Get css file contets with file_get_contents()
2. Locate the css tag in the html content variable and remove it from the string (preg_replace?)
3. Replace all url's in the content with the full http://sub.domain.dev/ with preg_replace
4. insert the css content into the head of the html content variable.

Would anyone be willing to help me with the regex patterns for this? I find them to be difficult...
Overall help and pointer also greatly appreciated, perhaps theres a better way of doing this

Cheers,
Marcus.
