How to match a part of an <iframe> tag?

Question

I\'m trying to match the highlighted parts of this string:

 maybe something here src=\"http://some.random.url.com/\" and the string continues.

You should use a DOM parser, but this regex would get you started if there is a reason you must use regexes

.*(?]*(?src=['"][^>'"]+['"]?).*

It uses named capture groups by the way, here's how they work

preg_match('/.*(?]*src=[\'"](?[^>\'"])+[\'"]?.*/', $searchText, $groups);
print_r($groups['iframeSrc']);
