Function to scan for image, attach it to post, set it as featured

1. @toscho is right, please do some research before posting your question.

   Here’s one peice of the puzzle that should get the ball rolling for you, courtesy of bavotasan.com. It finds the first image in the post and displays it.

   function getImage($num) {
       global $more;
   
       $more    = 1;
       $link    = get_permalink();
       $content = get_the_content();
       $count   = substr_count($content, '<img');
       $start   = 0;
   
       for ($i=1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
           $imgBeg = strpos($content, '<img', $start);
           $post   = substr($content, $imgBeg);
           $imgEnd = strpos($post, '>');
   
           $postOutput = substr($post, 0, $imgEnd + 1);
           $postOutput = preg_replace('/width="([0-9]*)" height="([0-9]*)"/', '',$postOutput);;
           $image[$i]  = $postOutput;
   
           $start = $imgEnd + 1;
       }
       if (stristr($image[$num],'<img')) {
           echo '<a href="' . $link . '">' . $image[$num] . "</a>";
       }
       $more = 0;
   }
   

   Good luck.

2. great, yeah i did some research. I posted here as last resort. However, last night I found this plugin http://www.bbqiguana.com/wordpress-plugins/add-linked-images-to-gallery/
   it does quite what I want, but it is getting only external images. How can I adapt it so it also gets internal images??

   here is the code:

   <?php
       /*
    Plugin Name: Add Linked Images To Gallery
    Plugin URI:  http://www.bbqiguana.com/wordpress-plugins/add-linked-images-to-gallery/
    Version: 1.4
    Description: Examines the text of a post and makes local copies of all the images linked though IMG tags, adding them as gallery attachments on the post itself.
    Author: Randy Hunt
