Come to my aid, all ye regex wizards!

Right, well I'm no good at these, so I'm wondering if any of you can give me a hand here.

What I need is a regex or something which will find all orrurances of ' href="blahblahblah" ' and, if the 'blahblahblah' part does not begin with 'http://' I want it to add a string to the beginning, and append the existing "href" parameter.

I probably haven't explained this well enough, here's a few examples.

$myaddy = "http://www.me.com/script?url=";
$theiraddy = "http://www.them.com/";

<a href="about.php">about</a>
If the above line was input, it would change to:
<a href="http://www.me.com/script?url=http://www.them.com/about.php">about</a&gt;

Is that clear enough?

Basically I'm getting a script of mine to grab a site, re-write all the relative links, image tags, etc, so the page served by my site will work properly, links, images/etc.

Oh it does some translating on the text in it too but I have that sorted.

Well I'm only familiar with JavaScript's RegExp object, but you can probably adapt it w/o too much hassle.
Here's how I'd match href="...":
/href="(.+)"/gi
The dot for any character, the plus for one or more times, the g for global match and i for case insensitivity.
Then presuming you need to change what's inside the quotes, reference the group (in brackets) with \1, $1 or however you do it.
Sorry for the incredibly high levels of vagueness :P, it's hard when I don't speak your language, as it were. You'll probably do better with the next reply...
