#16160 — How i can get preg_match by url?

I want find all urls match with one url. i try code below:
<?php
$url_regex = '^http://toilatester.com/category/?xv=.*';

$urls = array(
    'http://toilatester.com/category/?xv=123333/time1-one1',
    'http://toilatester.com/category/?xv=78787878/time1-one1',
    'http://toilatester.com/category/?xv=78547547/time1-one1'
);

foreach ($urls as $urllink) {
    if (preg_match($url_regex, $urllink, $a)) {
        $arr_link[] = $a[0];
    }
}
die(print_r($arr_link));
?>
but it not works,
Any idea to help?,
Thank you

The pattern string (in $url_regex) should be started and ended by a, choosen
by you, delimiter character.   In your case you could use a hash symbol
character:

$url_regex = '#^http://toilatester.com/category/?xv=.*#';

Than I would suggest to add a switch to indicate that the matching should be
done case insensitive (no difference between upper and lower case
characters).  For that just append an "i" to the end of the pattern string:

$url_regex = '#^http://toilatester.com/category/?xv=.*#i';

Hope that helps,
Rudy Wieser

You need a delimiter round the pattern.  Most often that's / but in this
case you'll end up having to quote all those /s if you do that.  You can
use all sort of characters but I like to use curly brackets.  Then you
need to quote the special character ? so that it means a literal ? and
not, as yo currently have it, that the / is options.  Also, you don't
need .* at the end.  If the previous part matches it's going to match
with .* also, and if the previous part does *not* match it won't just
because you got .* there:

  $url_regex = '{^http://toilatester.com/category/\?xv=}';

Not necessarily there, though.  The delimiter can also be with the function 
call in which $url_regex is used.  Also, with this line alone one cannot 
know if the final regular expression is constructed by concatenation, or 
used in different contexts, in a way that if the delimiter were inserted 
here already, it could break the code.  So one should be slow to make any 
changes in such a line.

Note that preg_quote() is _not_ a general solution for this problem as it 
would quote all special characters that are part of the PCRE syntax, not 
only the specified delimiter.  If you only want to quote the delimiter 
automatically, you should use preg_replace() on the part of the expression 
between the delimiters (str_replace() may not suffice when the expression 
uses characters beyond the ISO-8859-1 range).

<http://php.net/preg_quote>

> You can use all sort of characters

The characters that can be used are limited:

$ php -r 'preg_match("fof", "foobar", $matches); print_r($matches);'
PHP Warning:  preg_match(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash 
in Command line code on line 1
PHP Stack trace:
PHP   1. {main}() Command line code:0
PHP   2. preg_match('fof', 'foobar', NULL) Command line code:1

> but I like to use curly brackets.

Using “{” and “}” makes regular expressions harder to read in which 
repetition ranges (“a{1, 2}”) are used.

However, I was surprised that not only that a pair of “{” and “}” can be 
used in PHP (I had expected that to be Perl-specific), but that apparently 
they do not need to be escaped then:

$ php -r 'preg_match("{fo{2}}", "foobar", $matches); print_r($matches);'
Array
(
    [0] => foo
)

Probably you mean _optional_.

Depends.

> previous part does *not* match it won't just because you got .* there:

However, if the expression before “.*” matches, then “.*” would match all 
characters until the end of the line (without PCRE_DOTALL) or the text (with 
PCRE_DOTALL).  Matching does not necessarily mean only testing.

all solution to work ok. 
I use this code

Many thanks.

This will not work because of the '/' characters in the url_regex....

use a different character (as was suggested by R.Wieser):
$url_regex = '#^http://toilatester.com/category/\?xv=#';
