PHP Regex to find images with specific src attribute

Question

I have a variable with HTML source and I need to find images within the variable that contain images with specific src attributes.

For example my image:

<img src="/path/img1.svg">

I have tried the below but doesnt work, any suggestions?

$hmtl = '<div> some stuff <img src="/path/img1.svg"/> </div><div>other stuff</div>';
preg_match_all('/<img src="/path/img1.svg"[^>]+>/i',$v, $images);

You should escape each occurence of slash (/) inside your regex since it used as regex delimiter. — hindmost

You should make use of DOMDocument Class, not regular expressions when it comes to parsing HTML.

<?php
$html='<img src="/path/img1.svg">';
$dom = new DOMDocument;
@$dom->loadHTML($html);
foreach ($dom->getElementsByTagName('img') as $tag) {
        echo $tag->getAttribute('src'); //"prints" /path/img1.svg
}

As an alternative, you can create a new DOMXPath object and do an xpath query for //img[@src='foo']

I have updated the question. I am trying to get all images with a specific image src from some sourcecode, not just the src from img
