Extract links

[skinner]

Hi, I'm writing 1 script that take backup of my rapidshare links..

But I have 1 problem: I can't extract from posts ID Links and Filename.

I use that:

<?php

$url = file_get_contents("http://www.domain.com");
$url = strip_tags( $url );
$regex = '@^https?://(?:[\w\d]+\.)*rapidshare\.\w+/files/(\d+)/([^&?#/]+?)(?:$|[&?#/])@i';
if(preg_match(
 $regex,$url, $matches)) {
 $file_url = $matches[0];
$file_id = $matches[1];
$file_name = $matches[2];
}

but I can only get entire link, like https://rapidshare.com/files/3220584445/test.zip

Instead, if I write only the link like in this case:

<?php

$url = 'https://rapidshare.com/files/3220584445/test.zip';
$regex = '@^https?://(?:[\w\d]+\.)*rapidshare\.\w+/files/(\d+)/([^&?#/]+?)(?:$|[&?#/])@i';
if(preg_match(
 $regex,$url, $matches)) {
  
   $file_url = $matches[0];
$file_id = $matches[1];
$file_name = $matches[2];
}
?>

I get:

Array
(
    [0] => https://rapidshare.com/files/3220584445/test.zip
    [1] => 3220584445
    [2] => test.zip

How can I extract only:
3220584445
test.zip
from a html page?

Thanks

$file_url = $matches[0]; $file_id = $matches[1]; $file_name = $matches[2]; echo  $file_url . "\n" . $file_id . "\n" . $file_name . "\n";

Explode?

<?php  

print_r(explode('/','https://www.rapidshare.com/files/265645559/some.file.rar'));  

?>

Result:

Array (     
[0] => https:     
[1] =>      
[2] => www.rapidshare.com     
[3] => files     
[4] => 265645559     
[5] => some.file.rar
)

Save the index [4] value and you're done [trollface]

replace

$regex = '#(http|https):\/\/rapidshare\.com\/([^\s]+)#is';

with

$regex = '#(http|https):\/\/rapidshare\.com\/files\/(\d+)\/([^\s]+)#is';

Thanks, it's what I need

Wouldn't go for the explode method..
Stick with regex for such tasks.

If you paste a NL link between the RS links, the script will still handle the NL link.
But if you use the regex method, it'll simply ignore the NL link.

So what code works? With that regex I can't find links..
