I'm looking for a way to work out the number of urls within a PHP string for example


PHP Code:
Please find my website at <a href="mydomain1.com">My Domain</a> and <a href="mydomain2.com">My Domain 2</a>

Would return that there was two urls included within the php string, I've thought of using substr_count but I cant see anyway of making that work.

Can anyone offer any help

Thanks

You've made quite a few of posts concerning parsing/matching data. I suggest doing some research on regular expressions. Here are some references for you:
