Description

eV::fullyQualifyAllURLs($domain,$copy) returns a string where all non-fully qualified URLs are prepended with the value $domain. This is useful for pages that will be presented outside of the domain of the website (emailed, used for API data, etc).

Syntax

$string = eV::fullyQualifyAllURLs($domain,$copy);

Paramaters

  • $domain STRING REQUIRED
the domain name to prepend all non-fully qualified URLs. Should include protocol and no trailing slash (http://www.website.com).
  • $copy STRING REQUIRED
the string that will have it's non-fully qualified URL contents prepended.

Return Values

Returns a string identical to the incoming $copy string, except for URLs that where non-fully qualified are no fully qualified with the passed $domain.

Examples

// set data to be fixed.
$dataString = "
This is some text with an <a href=\"page.html\">absolute link</a>, 
a <a href=\"http://www.google.com\">fully qualified domain name link</a>
and a <form action=\"anotherpage.html\" method=\"post\">form</form>
";
 
// convert all non-fully qualified URLs to fully qualified
$newDataString = eV::fullyQualifyAllURLs('http://www.website.com',$dataString);
 
// output the resulting string
echo $newDataString;
 
/*
this string will look like the following:
--------------------------
This is some text with an <a href=\"http://www.website.com/page.html\">absolute link</a>, 
a <a href=\"http://www.google.com\">fully qualified domain name link</a>
and a <form action=\"http://www.website.com/anotherpage.html\" method=\"post\">form</form>
