Question

The original words

$string = '<a href="/home/top">here is some text</a>. <a href="/links/abc">some links here</a>...';
//more links and other html. more link like <a href="/home/below">, <a href="/links/def">...

I need change to

<a href="/links/abc"> => <a href="#" onclick="link('abc|123')">
<a href="/links/def"> => <a href="#" onclick="link('def|123')">
<a href="/links/ghi"> => <a href="#" onclick="link('ghi|123')">

I tried to use str_replace, but it just easy to replace <a href=" to <a href="#" onclick="link(' and hard to judge the next part. but how to deal with these replace? Thanks.

You can use preg_replace():

$string = preg_replace('%href="/links/(.+?)"%', 'href="#" onclick="link(\'$1|123\')"', $string);
