REGEX formula.

[solidcodes]

Hi i know this is very simple for REGEX old timer.

I have this link below,

<a href="http://domain.org/tlg/1188777994.html">MANAGER NEEDED</a>

All i want is to get the text "MANAGER NEEDED" from that link.

I've been formulating for hours now and i'm completely lost i guess.

Anyone would to show the REGEX for this?

thanks in advance.

$anchor = '<a href="http://domain.org/tlg/1188777994.html">MANAGER NEEDED</a>';
$text = preg_replace('/\<.*?\>(.*?)\<.*?\>/','$1',$anchor);
echo $text;

$anchor = '<a href="http://domain.org/tlg/1188777994.html">MANAGER NEEDED</a>';
$info = array_combine(array('href','label'),explode('??????',preg_replace('/\<a\shref="(.*?)">(.*?)\<.*?\>/','$1??????$2',$anchor)));

echo '<p><strong>href:</strong>&nbsp;',$info['href'],'</p>';
echo '<p><strong>label:</strong>&nbsp;',$info['label'],'</p>';

echo '<pre>',print_r($info),'</pre>';

Try taking a look at using a combination of DOMDocument and XPath to get the information you need, IMHO, it's far better suited to parsing HTML than RegExp.

<?php
$oXPath = new DOMXPath(@DOMDocument::loadHTML(file_get_contents('http://www.google.com')));
foreach($oXPath->query('//a') as $oLinkNode)
{
    printf(
        '%s:- %s<br />%s',
        $oLinkNode->nodeValue,
        $oLinkNode->getAttribute('href'),
        PHP_EOL
    );
}
