Find preg match all url with regex url

[Tan Tran]

Hello,
I have issue when use preg match,

$mystring = '<div class="test">
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30747165/overriding-function-with-sinon-mock.html">questtion 1</a>
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30747165/dshdsjjdsjdjkdsjk.html">questtion 2</a>
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30747165/yurererererererere.html">questtion 3</a>
</div>';

$url_regex = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30747165/*.html';

preg_match_all(url_regex, $mystring, $urls);

print_r($urls);
but it don't work. How i can get all url from my string match with $url_regex

thanks.

Your regex is missing delimiters (I use ~ below). A dot (.) has a
special meaning in a regex ("any character") and must therefore be
escaped (\.) if you want to match *only* a dot. (Doesn't really matter
here though.) "/*" would match zero or more slashes -- not what you want.

$url_regex = '~http://stackoverflow\.com/questions/30747165/.+?\.html~';

preg_match_all($url_regex, $mystring, $urls);
