Drupal 4.7.x

I have an html string like this:

<img src="/files/vile.jpg" width="500" height="367" alt="vile.jpg" />

What is the best way to extract only the path: /files/vile.jpg from the above string? I'm not too familiar with regex, any help is greatly appreciated!

This one should be a real no-brainer for you guys. Yah, I know, the subject doesn't say anything.

So I'm working on a Drupal site. But the existing code base is severly fubar'd by some really dumb hacks [one of them was using Drupal, but I digress].

Anyways, I've dumped the MySQL data onto my personal desktop, and downloaded the site trunk onto my personal desktop, but for some friggin reason I'm not allowed to log in; I mean, if I enter the username & password it immediately redirects to a logged in page, but if I try to go anywhere else I'm immediately logged out.

After upgrading from 4.7.4 to 4.7.7, the following error message appears in the browser when accessing the site:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_hidden() in /home/mkpaul/domains/chintha.com/public_html/includes/common.inc(1201) : eval()'d code on line 2

Unfortunately the error persists even when running with just the drupal core! I already tried removing the contributed modules, but no luck!!!! Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

Anyone out there know where/how I can find a good programmer to help out with our growing drupal world? I've posted here and on craigslist, but I've gotten really poor responses... like 6 responses from the craigslist ad and 2 from the post here...

It's been a long time since I've had to look for a job, and I've never had to hire a programmer before, so I'm not sure where they're hiding! :) Or perhaps there is just so much work out there that everyone is already too busy?

I have my front page set to a Page Node Type. In that Node, I have it set as PHP code and call a PHP function on the page.

If I declare the PHP function in my theme template.php, the function isn't recognized when I load the Page Node and I get an error of a "Call to undefined function". However, if I paste the function declaration code explicitly in my Page Node definition and leave the same function definition in the template.php file, I get an error saying that the function has already been defined.

I need to find a programmer to convert my text based MMORPG into Drupal modules. I also need my current Drupal site converted to 5.x currently 4.7. This is all for the same site.

I would prefer to find someone whom would like to become a partner in this venture. I have almost 7000 members but due to lack of changes most are not playing. I know that if we can get some changes made, most will come back. At its glory it was making $10 - $20 a day.

I have been through 7 programmers now and none have even made a demo.
