real quick help with reg ex

[f1sh3r]

i have a blog on one site. id basically just want the titles (with a link) to show up on my personal webpage. i imagine i do this by grabbing info from the rss feed, and displaying it.

i dont have a lot of experience with xml.

anyone have a simple script that does this, or a link to some info? my webpage is in php.

thanks

edit: ...the feed is an Atom feed, and the xml is screwy to deal with...

i need a regex that will lift the link out of this line. can some one help?

<link rel="alternate" href="http://subpopulated.ning.com/x...l/689763:BlogPost:6149"/>

i came up with

#<link.*(http:\/\/.*?)\"/>#s

is that as clean as ill get?

i wrote one over a year ago...but the codes too sloppy to share, sorry

Assuming they'll all fit that form, it looks fine. If it's possible you'll have something like:

<link href="www.google.com"/>

then you should obviously modify it.

Yeah, I'd probably include https and www at a minimum.

#<link.*(((http(s)?:\/\/)|www).*?)\"/>#s

Even if you can't use it out of the box, I'm sure the code will be helpful to look at.

Actually, that wasn't the solution I was thinking of. It'd be more like:

/<link.*?href\s*=\s*\"(.*?)\"/

That should be enough. This assumes your links are all quoted, which they should be. If you don't know exactly what the link will look like, it seems much smarter to use the other identifying mark which is href="()".
