Problem with replacing Using PHP

Recently i was Writing a Preg replace Function in PHP
Here is the Code below

			
$suchmuster = "/".$textlinksname."/i";
$replace = "<a href='".$textlinksurl."' target='_blank'>".$textlinksname."</a>";
$body = preg_replace($suchmuster,$replace,$body,200);

PHP:

Since the variable $body contains links begins with http:// when it replaces the matched text in URL it becomes a problem
Similarly for the images too

So is there any way to skip the text containing http:// using preg replace function ?

Thanks

 

$replace = "<a href='".$textlinksurl."' target='_blank'>".$textlinksname."</a>";
$body = preg_replace('~'.preg_quote($textlinksname).'~i',$replace,$body,200);

PHP:

Use preg_quote(), and you don't neccesarily need to use the / (slash) as the modifier, I always prefer to use ~. As the / is common amongst urls and choosing a different modifier may prevent the need to escape.

 

oh no my friend here is a example


No when doing replacements with preg_replace is there was anyway that it won't do any replacements if it found a URL

Thanks Dan

 

Your confusing me, ellaborate, show me the input and expected output.

 

Oh Dan!
Its Simple

$textlinksname = 'Google';
$textlinksurl = 'http://google.com';
$body = 'Google is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src =\'http://google.com/logo.jpg\'>';

$suchmuster = "/".$textlinksname."/i";
$replace = "<a href='".$textlinksurl."' target='_blank'>".$textlinksname."</a>";
$body = preg_replace($suchmuster,$replace,$body,200);

// Here the Output will be
// <a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src ='http://<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a>.com/logo.jpg'>
// It replaces the Word 'Google' even in the URL(Image) as result the links and image links get broken



// So, I expect the output must be like this
//<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src ='http://google.com/logo.jpg'>
// Such that It replaces only text and skip the text in the URL's

Thanks Dan!

 

I don't work here, nor should you rely on me as this is completely voluntary, furthermore its 2.19am (UK Time) here theirfore a different timezone to you.

<?php
$textlinksname = 'Google';
$textlinksurl = 'http://google.com';
$body = 'Google is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src =\'http://google.com/logo.jpg\'>';

$replace = "<a href='".$textlinksurl."' target='_blank'>".$textlinksname."</a>";
$body = preg_replace('~(?<!http://)'.preg_quote($textlinksname).'~i', $replace,$body,200);

echo $body;

/*
output:

<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src ='http://google.com/logo.jpg'>
*/
?>

Dan i tried but run and see this and Further updated the code a little bit to work with WWW or Without WWW but when the text appears in the URL(Say Directory Structure It messes)
See Below

<?php
$textlinksname = 'Google';
$textlinksurl = 'http://google.com';
$body = 'Google is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src =\'http://www.google.co.in/google/images/srpr/logo1w.png\'/>';
$body = str_ireplace('http://www.','http://',$body);
$body = str_ireplace('https://www.','http://',$body);

$replace = "<a href='".$textlinksurl."' target='_blank'>".$textlinksname."</a>";
$body = preg_replace('~(?<!http://)'.preg_quote($textlinksname).'~i', $replace,$body,200);

echo $body;

// Output will be
// <a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src ='http://google.co.in/<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a>/images/srpr/logo1w.png'/>

//But i need output like this
//<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it <img src ='http://google.co.in/google/images/srpr/logo1w.png'/>
// Such that it wont replace any text occurring in the URL 


?>

PHP:

Still the problem is there

It outputs as

<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it
 <img src ='http://www.google.co.in/google/intl/en_com/images/srpr/google-123-<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a>.png'/>

Code (markup):

But i need output like this such that it wont mess with HTML Tags

<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank'>Google</a> is a great search engine. Here is the logo of it
 <img src ='http://www.google.co.in/google/intl/en_com/images/srpr/google-123-Google.png'/>

Code (markup):

Can anyone help me on how to prevent that???

Thanks in advance
