Find and replace

[JustinK101]

I have a long string of html, and what I want to do, if find all occurrences of:

 

/static (anything after)...

 

and replace with:

 

http://www.mydomain.com/static (anything after).

 

What is the best and fastest way to do this? Thanks.

You'll want something more as you gave a trivial example, but:

 

$string = preg_replace('#/static(.*)#', 'http://www.mydomain.com/static\\1', $string);

Thanks for the reply. Ok, lastly, need to do something a bit more complicated.

 

I want to search a large string of HTML for exactly:

 

<div class="footer-parent">

 

and remove the entire HTML subtree under this. So basically delete all string HTML contained within:

 

<div class="footer-parent">

 

  // A whole bunch of nested html and markup, that should be deleted.

 

</div>
