regex matching image tag to retrieve URL

Question

I wrote src="([^"]+)" and it does the following matches : <img src="http://google.com/q.jpeg"> matched

<img alt="something" src="http://google.com/q.jpeg"> matched

<audio src="http://something.."> matched too

How can I exclude video and audio?

What is the expected output....your regex should work frn for both cases — vks, Dec 29 '14 at 12:41
Could you explain this `And also video used src, I want only the URL of the img.` ? — Avinash Raj, Dec 29 '14 at 12:48

Try This:

$sourcestring = '<img alt="something" src="http://google.com/q.jpeg">';
preg_match_all('/<img.*?src="(.*?)"/',$sourcestring,$matches);

print_r($matches[1])

is your output. It only accept tag src values.

this will helpful for you.

A simple regex would be:

<img\b[^>]*?\bsrc\s*=\s*(['"])(.*?)\1

Demo

But remember, don't try this at home when better tools are available ;)
