How to export img urls from a html text

Question

I have the following:

$input = '<p>This is a sample of a content I am working with <br /> Check out this image <img src="http://mydomain.com/1.png" /> or this one <img src="http://mydomain.com/2.png" />';

How can I get this two urls in an array?

['<img src="http://mydomain.com/1.png" />','<img src="http://mydomain.com/2.png" /'>]

Maybe you wanna use this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementsbytagname.php And beware, you can too easily invite Zalgo by using some answers. — biziclop, Nov 02 '12 at 10:03

To parse HTML it is recommanded to use PHP's DOMDOCUMENT, as stated here: Parse HTML with PHP's HTML DOMDocument

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($input);

foreach($dom->getElementsByTagName('img') as $img) {
        echo $img->getAttribute('src') . "<br />\r\n";
    }

Simple! Check HTMLSQL

With HTMLSQL you can filter all html tags.

Looks interesting, but it seems a bit outdated. Also I am not allways fetching this values from database.. – Toni Michel Caubet Nov 02 '12 at 10:17
HTMLSQL is HTML parser, like DOMDOCUMENT! – Eugen Nov 03 '12 at 11:12
