how to replace url path in html file

Question

How to find and replace all URL paths in an HTML file? I have an HTML file with links from Wayback Machine, like these:

"/web/2016***/http://blog.mydomain.com/archive/img.jpg"    
"/web/2016***/http://blog.mydomain.com/archive/img2.jpg"
"/web/2016***/http://blog.mydomain.com/archive/page2.html"

The 2016*** part is dynamic. How do I extract these elements:

"/archive/img.jpg"
"/archive/img2.jpg"
"/archive/page2.html"

I have tried:

$html = $url;
$content = file_get_contents($html);
$newhtml = preg_replace( 'web/-[^-.]*\./' , '/' , $content);
file_put_contents('post1.html', $newhtml);

Try this regular expression: \/web.*blog\.mydomain\.com(.*):

preg_replace('\/web.*blog\.mydomain\.com(.*)', '\1', $content);
