Question

i have this image tag that i’m getting from a weather source that is with errors, the output is not html but wml/wap so it crashes and burns when it shows up.
the image tag comes up like this:

<img alt="FACE="Monospace,Courier">LRPatches, Sky clear, Q1020</FONT><Mist, >" src="http://www.vremea.com/images/fogshow.gif"  width="50" height="50"/>

and i would like it to be like this:

<img src="http://www.vremea.com/images/fogshow.gif"  width="50" height="50"/>

i know i have to use preg_replace but I cant seem to make it work, any ideas?

Answer 1

This :

$imgTag = '<img alt="FACE="Monospace,Courier">LRPatches, Sky clear, Q1020</FONT><Mist, >" src="http://www.vremea.com/images/fogshow.gif"  width="50" height="50"/>';
$returnValue = preg_replace('/(<img)(.*)(src.*)/', '$1 $3',$imgTag);

Will output :

'<img src="http://www.vremea.com/images/fogshow.gif"  width="50" height="50"/>'

Assuming your malformed <img /> tag doesn’t change.
