Find href values for specific <a> inner value

[papaface]

Hey

 

I am trying to find a way of retrieving the href value in a link on a specific webpage. However I only want to retrieve the href values for <a> elements that have the text "Click here to find out more".

e.g.

<a href="link.com/fdhh.php">Click here to find out more</a>

Is there any specific PHP function that'll allow me to do that?

 

Any help would be appreciated

Preg_match.

 

Warning, you're about to learn regular expressions.  It's a short trip from there to insanity.

$content file_get_contents('http://www.somedomain.com/somepage.php');
preg_match_all("#<a.*?href=\"([^\"]+)\"[^>]*>Click here to find out more</a>#", $content, $matches);
print_r($matches[1]);

suggestions for improvement:

 

- make case insensitive

- check if href attrib uses double OR single quotes

- optional spacing between href=" (ex: href = " or href= " or href =")

 

#<a[^>]*href\s?=\s?[\"']([^\"']+)[\"'][^>]*>Click here to find out more</a>#i
