It's often useful to be able to swap out the src= attribute of an HTML IMG tag without losing any of the other attributes. What's a quick, non-regex way of doing this?
The reasons I don't want to use RegEx are:
- It's not very readable. I don't want to spend 20 mins deciphering a pattern every time I need to account for a new case.
- I am planning on modifying this function to add in width and height attributes when they're missing. A simple RegEx string replacement won't be easy to modify for this purpose.
Here's the context: I have a bunch of RSS feed posts that each contain one image. I would like to replace these images with blank images, but keep the HTML otherwise unaffected:
$raw_post_html = "<h2>Feed Example</h2>
<p class='feedBody'>
<img src='http://premium.mofusecdn.com/6ff7098b3c8561d70c0af16d30e57d4e/cache/other/48da8425bc54af2d5d022f28cc8b021c.200.0.0.png' alt='Feed Post Image' width='350' height='200' />
Feed Body Content
</p>";
echo replace_img_src($raw_post_html, "http://cdn.company.org/blank.gif");
