How can we use PHP to identify URL's in a string and store them in an array?

Cannot use the explode function if the URL contains a comma, it wont give correct results.

Answer 1

REGEX is the answer for your problem. Taking the Answer of Object Manipulator.. all it's missing is to exclude "commas", so you can try this code that excludes them and gives 3 separated URL's as output:

$string = "The text you want to filter goes here. http://google.com, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m7NEDMrV0,https://instagram.com/hellow/";

preg_match_all('#\bhttps?://[^,\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^,[:punct:]\s]|/))#', $string, $match);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($match[0]); 
echo "</pre>";

and the output is

Array
(
    [0] => http://google.com
    [1] => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m7NEDMrV0
    [2] => https://instagram.com/hellow/
)

Answer 2

You can try Regex here:

$string = "The text you want to filter goes here. http://google.com, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m7NEDMrV0,https://instagram.com/hellow/";

preg_match_all('#\bhttps?://[^\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^[:punct:]\s]|/))#', $string, $match);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($match[0]); 
echo "</pre>";

This gives the following output:

Array
(
  [0] => http://google.com
  [1] => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m7NEDMrV0,https://instagram.com/hellow/
)

Answer 3

try this

function getUrls($string)
{
$regex = '/https?\:\/\/[^\" ]+/i';
preg_match_all($regex, $string, $matches);
return ($matches[0]);
}
$urls = getUrls($string);
print_r($urls);

or

$str = '<a href="http://foobar.com"> | Hello world Im a http://google.fr |     Did you mean:http://google.fr/index.php?id=1&b=6#2310';
$pattern = '`.*?((http|ftp)://[\w#$&+,\/:;=?@.-]+)[^\w#$&+,\/:;=?@.-]*?`i';
if (preg_match_all($pattern,$str,$matches)) 
{
print_r($matches[1]);
}

it will works
