scraping all <a href ... > tags and store them into array.


Recommended Posts

I want to scrape all <a href .. > tags and store them into array.

 

For example,

 

Let say i want to srape a page that has multiple <a href .. > tags, like this one below,

 

<a href="/sudden/businesses/display.cfm?recordid=1936">

 

and store them into array.

 

I want to know what function in php that determine the <a href .. > tag?

 

or could you show me example for this.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

 

 

use strip_tags

eg

 

$data = strip_tags($htmlpage,"<a>");

 

 

then you are left with all <a> tags.

 

then you can split on "</a>"

 

eg

 

$splitted = split('</a>',$data); #not tested

print_r($splitted);

 

then you carry on your manipulation
