Let's say I have a string like this:
$urlsString = "http://foo.com/barhttps://bar.com//foo.com/foo/bar"
and I want to get an array like this:
array(
[0] => "http://foo.com/bar",
[1] => "https://bar.com",
[0] => "//foo.com/foo/bar"
);
I'm looking to something like:
preg_split("~((https?:)?//)~", $urlsString, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY|PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
Where PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE definition is:
If this flag is set, parenthesized expression in the delimiter pattern will be captured and returned as well.
That said, the above preg_split
returns:
array (size=3)
0 => string '' (length=0)
1 => string 'foo.com/bar' (length=11)
2 => string 'bar.com//foo.com/foo/bar' (length=24)
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong or any other idea?
PS: I was using this regex until I've realized that it doesn't cover this case.
Edit:
As @sidyll pointed, I'm missing the $limit
in the preg_split
parameters. Anyway, there is something wrong with my regex, so I will use @WiktorStribiżew suggestion.
