Extract URL’s from a string using PHP [duplicate]

by

REGEX is the answer for your problem. Taking the Answer of Object Manipulator.. all it’s missing is to exclude “commas”, so you can try this code that excludes them and gives 3 separated URL’s as output:

$string = "The text you want to filter goes here. http://google.com, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m7NEDMrV0,https://instagram.com/hellow/";

preg_match_all('#\bhttps?://[^,\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^,[:punct:]\s]|/))#', $string, $match);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($match[0]); 
echo "</pre>";

and the output is 

Array
(
    [0] => http://google.com
    [1] => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m7NEDMrV0
    [2] => https://instagram.com/hellow/
)
