using curl to follow each links on a page ?

[jjk2]

how can i specify curl to follow each link on a page, and grab a specific results? such as match for all <img> tags ?

 

the first part is only important here.

 

thanks!

You will have to use regular expressions to get all the links on the page, and once again use regular expressions to grab the images. You will really just need curl to return the output.

 

this should return all links on the page

 

Function _cLinkCollection($HTML) {
preg_match_all('/<a[\s]+.*href[\s]*=[\s]*["\\\']([^"\\\']*)["\\\'].*>(.*)<\/a>/miU' ,$HTML,$ar_Links);
	Return $ar_Links;
}

no....

 

what i meant was

 

how do i make curl click on links, and get those page contents.

 

i can do the regex stuff.....i am interested in how i can make curl navigate into links, output that page content , and supply cookies if necessary to get into the links.
