Answer 1

You’re searching for an <a rel..., instead of a <link rel....

Also, you’ll likely want something like (http.+?) instead of (http+).

A better better way for finding that link though would be something like:

if (preg_match('/<link.+?>/si', $page, $link_matches)
    && strpos($link_matches[0], 'shortcut icon') !== false
    && preg_match('/href\s*=\s*"(http:.+?)"/si', $link_matches[0], $matches))
{
    $avatar = $matches[1];
}
else
{
    $avatar = 'http://27.media.tumblr.com/avatar_749f6bc22627_128.png';
}

In the above example, you’d first be looking for <link/> tags, then look for the href attribute in the found link tags. Just in case they look a little differently from what you expect them to look like.
