rewrite links to use reffere script

Hi,

What I want to do is to take a link like this http://test.com and make it into http.//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=test.com

I got my data in a string (they need to be submitted to a database). So I've tried using str_replace like this:

$content2 = str_replace("http://", "http.//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?mid={$msg_id}&site=", $content);

PHP:

however what I get from this is a link to

http://localhost:8888/%22http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=test.com\%22

Code (markup):

Which I really dont get (note I'm currently testing on my localhost..)

Someone can help me get this done correctly?

Thanks a lot

<?php
    $url = 'http://test.com';
    
    preg_match('|^(?:http://)?(www\.)?([^/]+)|i', $url, $matches);
    $newURL = 'http.//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=' . $matches[2];
    
    echo $newURL;
?>

PHP:

 

thanks,

however it doesn't work. What I got now is this.

$content = '<a href="http://test.com">test</a> <p> Other html code here blablabla </p>';
preg_match('|^(?:http://)?(www\.)?([^/]+)|i', $content, $matches);
$newURL = 'http//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=' . $matches[2];
echo $newURL;

PHP:

and it returns:

http//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=

Code (markup):

What it needed to return was:

<a href="http//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=test.com">test</a> <p> Other html code here blablabla </p>

HTML:

 

<?php
function callback($match) {
return 'http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site='.parse_url($match[1], PHP_URL_HOST);
}

$content = '<a href="http://test.com">test</a> <p> Other html code here blablabla </p>';

//this is where the changes take effect...
$content = preg_replace_callback('~(http://[^ "]+)~i', 'callback', $content);

echo $content;
?>

PHP:

 

Thanks a lot, that worked

 

Ahh... didn't realise it would be embedded in HTML.

 

Might not have been specific enough. Thanks for your help anyway

 

Hi again

As said this worked, however there is one small issue. If I have this <a href="http://test.com">http://test.com</a>

It also rewrites the text that is displayed, I only want it to change the href atrribute, and not other things. Eg if the content is:

$content = '<a href="http://test.com">http://test.com</a> <p> Other html code here blablabla </p>';

PHP:

it should return:

<a href="http//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=test.com">http://test.com</a> <p> Other html code here blablabla </p>

HTML:

Someone can help me with this? I really don't understand this :s eg all the special charectors in the preg_replace_callback

Thanks

 

The way I would handle this is assign the clicked linked a variable such as below:

<a href="http//www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site=test.com" name="test">http://test.com</a>

PHP:

Then in this code:

$test = $_GET['name'];
function callback($match) {
return 'http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?site='.parse_url($match[1], PHP_URL_HOST);
}

$content = '<a href="http://test.com">test</a> <p> Other html code here blablabla </p>';

//this is where the changes take effect...
$content = preg_replace_callback('~(http://[^ "]+)~i', 'callback', $content);

echo $content;
?>

PHP:

Notice I added at the top to call the variable since it can still be passed as data.

This is untested as I haven't worked with passing data from a href to a referrer file.

 

change it like

$content = preg_replace_callback('~href="(http://[^ "]+)~i', 'callback', $content);

PHP:

That worked. I have already tired that but for some reason I used " instead of ' in the callback function and that seems to have bugged it or something. Weird

But thanks
