i am stuck in something which is very very important for one of our ongoing projects, Immediate Assistance would be very highly appreciated as i am running out of time.
PROBLEM :
Lets say i have some html code in a variable right
$data=
"
<html><head><title>Parsing</title></head>
<body>
<a href='http://www.thisislink1.com'>Link1</a><br>
<a href='http://www.thisislink2.com'>Link2</a><br>
<a href='http://www.thisislink3.com'>Link3</a><br>
</body>
</html>
";
Now you see that variable has some html code with 3 hyperlinks in it. i just want to change those links in that html in that variable without changing anything else. i mean a function which could allow me to change those links by like parsing all that html and putting all 3 of them in seperate array indexes and then i could change those array index values and could rejoin all that to create the same html as before but with links updated..
DESIRED SAMPLE OUTPUT:
for this variable
$data=
"
<html><head><title>Parsing</title></head>
<body>
<a href='http://www.thisislink1.com'>Link1</a><br>
<a href='http://www.thisislink2.com'>Link2</a><br>
<a href='http://www.thisislink3.com'>Link3</a><br>
</body>
</html>
";
i would say change link1 to this, link2 to this, link3 to this. and output would be like
$data=
"
<html><head><title>Parsing</title></head>
<body>
<a href='http://www.newlink1.com'>Link1</a><br>
<a href='http://www.newlink2.com'>Link2</a><br>
<a href='http://www.newlink3.com'>Link3</a><br>
</body>
</html>
";
I think preg_replace or parsing of html tags would solve this problem but my tries are not working.
I hope my problem description is clear..
I thank you all for your time..
Please My whole project depends on this function, PLease help me if you have some time to share your knowledge.
Thank You very much

$data=str_replace("http://www.thisislink1.com","http://newlink1.com",$data)
Our Source link values will always vary which we would not be knowing beforehand
$data= "<html><head><title>Parsing</title></head><body><a href='".$link1."'>Link1</a><br><a href='".$link2."'>Link2</a><br><a href='".$link1."'>Link3</a><br></body></html>";
and have an include file where
$link1='your_link1';
$link2='your_link2';
$link3='your_link3';
and make as many include file as you want
put variables in the source ..
Actually its like each time my code is called, i am importing HTML of any webpage from the web so you see thats not in my control that what html i 'll get.
Please Comment
