Matching SRC attribute of IMG tag using preg_match

Question

I\'m attempting to run preg_match to extract the SRC attribute from the first IMG tag in an article (in this case, stored in $row->introtext).

preg_match(\'/         


        

Answer 1

Your expression is incorrect. Try:

preg_match('/< *img[^>]*src *= *["\']?([^"\']*)/i', $row->introtext, $matches);

Note the removal of brackets around img and src and some other cleanups.
