preg match all() expression tweak

match all except one

[sssweb]

I have the following code to pull URL's out of a text string:

preg_match_all('/(http:\/\/¦www\.)[^\s\'">]+/', $text, $matches);
$urls = $matches[0];

But I can't quite get how to tweak it to skip over one particular URL (mine!)

Can someone please insert 'mysite.com' appropriately in the above expression to pull all URL's EXCEPT mysite.com.

I'm pretty sure the answer lies here:Lookahead and Lookbehind [regular-expressions.info]

Sorry for the lack of help, I'm still trying to make the pattern for this myself!

My regex skills are not fine-tuned at the moment. ;)

Good luck!

Using an assertion would likely work. It might look something along these lines ...

$mysite = 'example.com'; 
$mysite = preg_quote($mysite, '/'); 
$pattern = "/((http:\/\/¦www\.)[^\s'\"\>\<]+)(?<!$mysite)[\s'\"\>\<]/i"; 
// $matches[1] has the full url then ... 
print '<pre>'; print_r($matches[1]); print '</pre>'; 

Don't forget that the forum breaks the pipe symbol, you need to rekey it.
