Regex to get img src urls

[planbeta]

Hello!

I have been trying to create a regexp pattern so I can get the src= part of any image tag. This is what I have come up with so far:

$matchSrc = '/<\s*IMG\s*\S*src=\s*[\"¦\'](.*?)\s*[\"¦\']/i';

This works fine, but how can I modify this so to collect images that aren't in "" or '' (I know they SHOULD be surround by quotes, but I'm finding a lot that aren't).

Thank you

Chris

"/\< *[Ii][Mm][Gg] *[Ss][Rr][Cc]= *[\"¦\']{0,1}([^\"\'\>]*)/"

"/\< *[Ii][Mm][Gg] *[Ss][Rr][Cc]= *[\"¦\']{0,1}([^\"\'\>]*)/"

You can use the pattern modifier "i" so that the regex matches are not case sensitive, so you could change it to

"/\< *[img] *[src]= *[\"\']{0,1}([^\"\'\>]*)/i"

You should maybe make provision for erroneous spaces in the tag, AFAIK spaces can appear in parts of the regex and is still standard HTML.

These regexes of course still don't match the following tags:

<img src="whatever" width="...
<img width="... " heigth=".." src="whatever" ...
<img border="0" src="whatever" ...

tschild, thanks for pointing that out :p

"/\< *[img][^\>]*[src] *= *[\"\']{0,1}([^\"\'\ >]*)/i"

Cheers for all the replies/help :)

It's working great now - I always wondered what the /i did , now I know!

Thanks

BTW is it possible to optimise/compress images on the fly (both jpeg/gif) in order to reduce file size?

yes, it is possible - the key functions to use, in this order, are:
$_FILES['photo']['tmp_name']
fopen()
fread()
imagesx()
imagesy()
imagecreatetruecolor()
imagecopyresized()
ob_start()
imageJPEG()
ob_get_contents()
ob_end_clean()

Cheers mate!
