not exactly what i needed. found a good solution here:
http://blog.verkoyen.eu/2007/04/04/convert-relative-urls-into-absolute/

some little changes, and works now perfectly

/**
   * Convert from relative urls to absolute urls
   *
   * @param    string    $prefix
   * @param    string    $html
   * @return    string
   */
   function relativeToAbsolute($prefix, $html)
   {
     // search for single quotes and replace them by double quotes
     $search = '\'';
     $replace = '"';
     $html = str_replace($search, $replace, $html);
     // replace relative urls by absolute (prefix them with $prefix)
     $pattern = '/href="(?!http|https|ftp|irc|feed|mailto)([\/]?)(.*)"/i';
     $replace = 'href="'.$prefix.'/$2"';
     $html = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $html);

     $pattern = '/src="(?!http|https|ftp|irc|feed|mailto)([\/]?)(.*)"/i';
     $replace = 'src="'.$prefix.'/$2"';
     $html = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $html);
     // return
     return $html;
   }
