How can I easily search a web page for relative paths and prepend the FQDN
to them?
For instance, I send a POST request to a server, and get back the
resulting page, and store it in a variable called $page.
When I print $page, it prints correctly, but things like the styelsheet
and images are broken, since they don't reference the site itself.
Ie, $page contains href="/css/stylesheet.css" as part of the code, and I
need to prepedn "http://www.somesite.com to that so that it gives the full
path and things aren't broken.
Thanks for any and all assistance.

Hello,
if you search only URIs delimited by " this would do it:
$newstring = preg_replace('/(\/[^"]*)/', $server."\$1", $yourtext);
if the URI can also be separated by a blank choose this:
$newstring = preg_replace('/(\/[^ "]*)( |")/', $server."\$1\$2", $yourtext);
Regards,
David

Stick a <BASE HREF="http://thesiteaddress.com/pathinfo/"> into the <HEAD>er.
Much easier to do and much less work for your server than preging the whole
thing.

David,
This works *perfectly* given what I said above. What I neglected to mention
(because I didn't think of it at the time) is that things like "text/css"
contain a slash, and this works on those as well.
I've used Shawn's suggestion, as that saves significantly on the
processing power, which makes sense given my environment.
Thanks!

Shawn,
Thanks, that works like a charm. I replaced "<head>" with "<head><base
href...>" in the page and everything loads perfectly.
