Question

I'm wanting to use a preg_replace only to replace

"http://domain.com/dateiIe6EHOnzyl/_DSC7290.jpg.htm"

to

"http://domain.com/dateiIe6EHOnzyl.htm"

p/s: I need using only preg_replace

Answer 1

$link = preg_replace('~/[^/]*(\.html?)$~', '$1', $link);

Answer 2

Try without preg_replace(), but with explode() and str_replace(), like in this example:

$str = 'http://domain.com/dateiIe6EHOnzyl/_DSC7290.jpg.htm';
$lastpart = end(explode('/', $str));
$str2 = str_replace('/'.$lastpart, '.htm', $str);
echo $str2;         // http://domain.com/dateiIe6EHOnzyl.htm

Answer 3

$str = 'http://domain.com/dateiIe6EHOnzyl/_DSC7290.jpg.htm';
$str = preg_replace('/(.+)\/.+\.(.+)/','$1.$2',$str);
print $str;
