I have listing all the website address to my overview page. Before that I have to validate the address with the all possible cases.

After several research I found the below regex. But this is not given an exact result.

/((http|https)\:\/\/)?[a-zA-Z0-9\.\/\?\:@\-_=#]+\.([a-zA-Z0-9\.\/\?\:@\-_=#])*/

My possible test cases are:

    'test.com', 
    'http://www.google.com', 
    'www.google.com', 
    'https://google.com', 
    'https://www.google.com', 
    'testetst', 
    '<img src="/test/test" >',
    '<img src="/test/test.png" alt="page" title="page">'

I want only the domain name. Here I want first five result as true and remain should be false.

  • No it seems all my test cases are right. But its wrong – Jagadeesh Feb 22 '16 at 13:44
  • You must use a DOMDocument to get the values from HTML tags (the last 2 examples). `testetst` - what is the actual requirement for matching this? the rest is OK, use [your regex](https://regex101.com/r/zM4bQ8/1). – Wiktor Stribiżew Feb 22 '16 at 13:58

Try this:

Code:

<?php
$input = 'test.com
http://www.google.com
www.google.com
https://google.com
https://www.google.com
testetst
img src="/test/test" >
<img src="/test/test.png" alt="page" title="page">';

echo '<h3>Input</h3><pre>'.htmlentities($input).'</pre><h3>Output</h3>';
preg_match_all('%(http[s]{0,1}://)*([A-Za-z0-9-]*?\.){0,1}([A-Za-z0-9-]*?\.[A-Za-z0-9-]*?)[\s]*(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n|$)%', $input, $regs, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($regs[0]); $i++) {
    // $regs[3][$i] contains domain name
    echo $regs[3][$i] . '<br />';
}

Result:

Input:

test.com
    http://www.google.com
    www.google.com
    https://google.com
    https://www.google.com
    testetst
    img src="/test/test" >
    <img src="/test/test.png" alt="page" title="page">

Output:

test.com
google.com
google.com
google.com
google.com

  • This is not work for my input. Your code will result as per which you have mentioned as output. But if my input is `test.com` it will result empty. – Jagadeesh Feb 23 '16 at 05:14
  • You were right. If one line only was input there was no match. I modified the RegEx. So, try it now. – hherger Feb 23 '16 at 06:19
