quick preg problem

[FiRe]

I am trying to replace anything that looks like this:

HREF="function.blah.php"

into just:

HREF="blah"

I tried this:

$body = preg_replace("/HREF=\"function.(.*).php\"/is", "href='\\1'", $body);

But not having much success! any help?

Hi! Try this:

$body = preg_replace('/href="function\.([a-z0-9]+)\.php"/is', 'href="\\1"', $body);

Psychopsia's note is good. I figured at least change to

$body = preg_replace("/HREF=\"function\.(.*)\.php\"/is", "href=\"\\1\"", $body);

. In my tests it worked fine. Here's my test code, just in case

$body

is being defined differently:

$body='a href="function.blah.php"';
echo $body."<br />";
$body = preg_replace("/HREF=\"function\.(.*)\.php\"/is", "href=\"\\1\"", $body);
echo $body."<br />";

Check the use of single- and double-quotes.

I changed the regex to ([a-z0-9]+) because (.*) returns the following:

<a href="aaa.php"></a><a href="function.bbb.php"></a><a href="function.ccc.php"></a><a href="function.ddd"></a>

Another way to get the correct result, is use (.*?)
