preg_replace href question

Trying to rename all links like:

<a name="link1" href="links.php" onmouseover="something">

To be:

<a name="link1" href="index.php?filename=links.php"
onmouseover="something">

I am using --->

$contents = preg_replace("/href=\"(.*)\"/i",
"href=\"index.php?filename=\\1\"", $contents);

And it is coming back:

<a
href="index.php?filename=links.php"onmouseover="so mething">

Not sure why the end of line is after the "<a" and no space before the
"onmouseover". Can anyone help shed some light as to how to improve
this? Thank you,

JJ

Not sure if I am posting in the wrong forum because I haven't heard
back from a few issues. If I am, would someone please let me know?
Thanks!

For an update to this problem, the only problem I have now is the
preg_replace seems to only be replacing the first link in my HTML
string. Not sure why. Is there something that I should be looking for
in the string that could be causing the replace to stop at that first
find?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

JJ
