How do I get the 'src' of 'img' tags?
Hi,
I basically have html <img> tags that I'd like to get the "src" of. The <img> tags that I have contain a few other attributes as well, and the order of the attributes is different from one <img> to another.
I'm thinking this should be done in regex, but I have no idea how to do it.
I've found a few solutions like this one, but none of them actually worked for me for some reason.
Any idea?

PHP Code:<?php
$sHTML = '
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="foo" />
<img src="bar" />
<img src="foo" />
<img src="bar" />
<img src="foo" />
<img src="bar" />
</body>
</html>
';
$oXPath = new DOMXPath(DOMDocument::loadHTML($sHTML));
foreach ($oXPath->query("//img") as $oNode)
{
echo $oNode->getAttribute('src');
}
/*
foo
bar
foo
bar
foo
bar
*/
?>

oooo these are pretty interesting classes. I never knew about them.
Thanks guys. SilverBulletUK's solution did it for me.
For the (very rare) occasion where there might be an image with no src attribute (I guess you can never count on the reliability of someone else's markup!), SilverBulletUK's code will trip up. For that reason, but more just to show you it's possible, you may instead query directly for src attributes of img elements with XPath.
PHP Code:foreach ($oXPath->query("//img/@src") as $oAttr)
{
echo $oAttr->value . "\n";
}
Thanks Peter, y'know, I really do enjoy your re-factorings of my code. Seriously, just when I think I've nailed it....
Here's to many more.
