Regex is not reliable? Since when? You mean, you can't write a reliable pattern? It's all good, I'm not much chop at regex either.

 

Anyway, if I was you I would be using jQuery to get the information you want.

You can use Simple HTML Dom. It's a DOM selector like jQuery's but for PHP.

there are many variations with html tags, its better to use parser lib than regex. you couldget away with regex but i prefer not to use it.

 

i am looking for a library that will return an array of information including all attributes, text, and element type (a, h1, div)...

I'm SURE there's a built in function in PHP to manage DOM
