jjacquay712 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am making a php spider and need to get the link from an <a> tag. I was going to use preg_match_all to get the content from the tag, but someone suggested using DOM to do that. Does anyone know how this is done? Any help is greatly appreciated.

DeanWhitehouse Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 This might help, it is not using dom http://djw-webdesign.awardspace.com/code.php?snippet=13 or http://djw-webdesign.awardspace.com/code.php?snippet=1 or this might work $code = "<a href=\"test\">test</a>"; $code = preg_replace("/\<a href=([^\[]+)\>(.*?)\<\/a\>/","//1",$code); echo $code;//should print test Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141670-solved-getting-tag-using-dom/#findComment-741572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 php has xml functions, you could possibly read the content of the document into xml and then read the src of the links as attributes Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141670-solved-getting-tag-using-dom/#findComment-741578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
