preg_replace, how to set string

Question

$item->description = preg_replace("/\<center\>\<a href=\"(.*)\"\>\<img alt=\"\" src=\"(.*)\" \/\>\<\/a\>\<\/center\>/", "$2", $item->description);

But I need to put result $2 into string $item->image.
How to do it?

Try with:

$item->image = preg_replace("/.*\<center\>\<a href=\"(.*)\"\>\<img alt=\"\" src=\"(.*)\" \/\>\<\/a\>\<\/center\>.*/", "$2", str_replace("\n", '', $item->description));

How ever do not use regex for parsing html use instead DOM instead

No, Then $item->image will be with all content, which have $item->description.

No, I need to parse XML and $item->description have html code and I want to clear it. Btw, this script will work on time per hour.

So your $item->image how should be? You said that $2 should be assigned to $item->image.

Yes, I need only $2, but not all $item->description.

I've updated my answer. Try now. I've added .* at the beginning and at the end of regex.
