相对路径INSIDE file_get_contents结果

Question

I am loading a url into my page on my local server with PHP file_get_contents. It works fine but relative paths on the site I am pulling obviously fail and default to my localhost.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could swap relative paths of a page I am pulling to absolute ones?

Ive tried something like this but it fails...

$homepage = file_get_contents($theURL);
$homepage2 = str_replace($homepage, "/images", $theURL + '/images');
echo $homepage2;

Thanks!

Answer 1

You're arguments for str_replace are in the wrong order.

Instead of

$homepage2 = str_replace($homepage, "/images", $theURL + '/images');

You should be doing

$homepage2 = str_replace("/images", $theURL + '/images', $homepage);

str_replace(search, replace, subject)
