I was using this regex to extract URL from link:
<a href=\"([^\"]*)\">
Works great but now that I added title to the link it doesn’t works any more.
<a title="Online dating in España" href="https://www.amigote.com/gente/espana?language_id=1">Online dating España</a>
How to make it work as before and simply ignore title=“” stuff?

<a .*?href=\"([^\"]*)\">
should do the trick
Thanks buddy!
How can I grab anchor text from these URLs and add them as title=“” attribute to those links?
$question = '<a href="https://www.amigote.com/gente/calle-puerto-rico">Calle Puerto Rico</a>, <a href="https://www.amigote.com/gente/huelva">Huelva</a>, <a href="https://www.amigote.com/gente/andalucia">AndalucÃa</a>';
I use this but it only matches one link not all:
preg_match('#<a[^>]*>([^<]*)<\/a>#i', $question, $matches);
$link_with_title = str_replace('<a ', '<a title="Online dating in '.$matches['1'].'" ', $matches['0']);

Sounds to me like you’re looking for the preg_replace function 
I am trying for the past 3 hours and can’t find a way please could you help?

Have you looked at preg_replace in the php manual? How far you’ve gotten already applying preg_replace shouldn’t be much of a leap.
But how do I grab anchor text and then add a title=“anchor text” to the link thats what I have no clue?

Can you show the code you’ve tried using preg_replace?
It might be easer to use PHP’s DOM classes to read the HTML, as that automatically does the parsing you try to achieve with a RegExp.
