    Hi,

    I have the following function which changes a URL in my string. Its working fine but i want to stop it changing the image name also. E.g.

    Here is an example string.

    <h1>Welcome to website</h1>    <p><strong><u>My title</u></strong><img src="http://ablered.mysite.info/uploads/images/thumbs/ablered.mysite.info_--_532966935.PNG" width="250" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px;"></p>
    Code (markup):
    As you can see the image contains the same domain in the image name. I only want the domain changing in the link but not the image. My function changes them both but i cant see how to do just the URL.

    This is the function.

    function formatUrlsInText($text, $newURL)
    {
        return preg_replace( '/[a-z0-9]+\.mysite\.info/i' , $newURL, $text);
    }
    Code (markup):

    Can't you just make it match the url after
    http://?
    Code (markup):
    so change the function to something like this:
    
    function formatUrlsInText($text, $newURL)
    {
      return preg_replace( '/http:\/\/[a-z0-9]+\.mysite\.info/i' , $newURL, $text);
    }
    
    PHP:
    Point: this means you'll need to have
    http://
    Code (markup):
    in front of replacement url
