i don't recommend using regex parse html string.

however

however might want try using dom first loop through images , store them in array.

foreach ($dom->getelementsbytagname('img') $img) {     $array[$img->getattribue('src')]=1; } 

then loop through links , try find image inside remove array.

foreach ($dom->getelementsbytagname('a') $a) {     //loop catch multiple imgs in links     foreach ($a->getelementsbytagname('img') $img) {          unset($array[$img->getattribue('src')]);     } }
