Regex not getting whole link at special characters

Question

I am using this code:

$string = preg_replace(\"~(?!(?:https?://(?:www\\.)?|www\\.)(?:youtube\\.com)(?:https?://(?:www\\.)?|www\\.)[\\w./=?#-]+~i\", \'

        

Answer 1

Also I'm trying to account for punctuation at the end of a URL (so that we don't include it).

$0',$string);


?>

output
