Func to Turn Relative URLs into Abs URLs

[tom]

hi group,

i desperately need a function that will transform relative URLs to
absolute URLs in the SRC part of <img> tags.

ie:

function makeAbsolute($h tml,$basehref)
{
//if regex match = relative URL ==> return img tag with absolute URL
}

i've scoured Google, PHP.net, PHPClasses.org, etc.., but have been
unable to find such a function.

since i'm an idiot regarding anything concerning RegEx, i've been
unable to write this function on my own.

if anyone has such a function, i'd be very glad if you could please
post it.

hey Rajesh,

i just read your post - that's a great link! thanks very much for
posting that.

it's exactly the function i was looking for, and was probably written
by a much better programmer than myself, saving me time, testing and
probably a whole lot of frustration.

Thanks again!
