Replace href in PHP

Question

Hello!

I'm trying to transform this:

http://link_brochure/1/2 OR link_brochure/1/2

into this:

class="show-brochure" href="http://localhost/main/brochure/1/2"

But I'm a rookie when it comes about regular expressions... Any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'd just use str_replace to replace 'main/' with 'link_', then 'a ' with 'a class="show-brochure"'.

On iPad, so can't be bothered to type code, but look up str_replace, and you'll get the idea!

Answer 2

Something like this?

$str=preg_replace(
    '{(?:http://)?link_brochure/(\d+)/(\d+)}', 
    'class="show-brochure" href="http://localhost/main/brochure/$1/$2"', 
    $str);
