Wrap <img> tag in a new tag and add alt attribute to the <img>

Question

How do I replace with text:

<img src="anyurl">

with:

<some extra html><img src="anyurl" alt=""></someextrahtml>

What is right regex to handle <img src="*">?

Answer 1

Try this regex:

/<img\s+src="(.*?)"\s+\/?>/

It'll grap the source of images.

EDIT

Here it is in PHP!

preg_match('/<img\s+src="(.*?)"\s+\/?>/', $target, $matches);
var_dump($matches);

So your src should be in $matches[0];
