php preg_match add href .html

Question

I would like to change all href's in a website.

<a href="sitename">xyz …</a>

to:

<a href="sitename.html>xyz …</a>

Thanks for help!

Use a parser. Do not use a regex (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags#answer-1732454). As you see in your own question, with the missing closing quote, you don't know what you're going to find in that HTML. — LSerni, Mar 07 '17 at 22:38

You could do it using the following way ...

$hrefs = '<a href="sitename1">xyz …</a>
<a href="sitename2">xyz …</a>';
$r = '/(?<=href=").*?(?=">)/';
$sitename = 'sitename.html';
$result = preg_replace($r, $sitename, $hrefs);
echo $result;

$content = file_get_contents('page.html');

$new_content = str_replace('<a href="', '<a href="sitename.html', $content);

echo $new_content;

All trailing content will still be in the `href`s. Also this assumes all `href`s are encapsulated by double quotes. Best to use a parser. – chris85 Mar 07 '17 at 16:35
Thank you. But, this is not the solution. 'sitename' is variable. – Harold Mar 07 '17 at 17:01
You could easily add sitename as a variable, $sitename.".html" – clearshot66 Mar 07 '17 at 17:02
This is not suitable for me. I just want to change ANY href = "xyz" in href = "xyz.html" So at each url a ".html" attach. – Harold Mar 07 '17 at 23:04
