problems with url and email regex when searching text
- by Grant Collins
Hi,
I'm having problems with regular expressions that I got from regexlib. I am trying to do a preg_replace() on a some text and want to replace/remove email addresses and URLs (http/https/ftp).
The code that I am have is:
$sanitiseRegex = array(
'email' => /'^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/',
'http' => '/^(http|https|ftp)\://[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(:[a-zA-Z0-9]*)?/?([a-zA-Z0-9\-\._\?\,\'/\\\+&%\$#\=~])*$/',
);
$replace = array(
'xxxxx',
'xxxxx'
);
$sanitisedText = preg_replace($sanitiseRegex, $replace, $text);
However I am getting the following error: Unknown modifier '/' and $sanitisedText is null.
Can anyone see the problem with what I am doing or why the regex is failing?
Thanks
