To catch text of tags inside <a href="">text</a>

[romzer]

Friends,

I am trying to make a regular expression with preg_match_all, that it catches everything that is inside of the < a href="http://www..." > TEXT </a >

 

I would like to catch http://www... and the TEXT. They could help me?

 

My Script:

 

$contents = '<a class=l href="http://www.text.htm"> TESTING </a>';

$regex = "/<a\s(.*)?href=(\"|')[a-zA-Z0-9\/\._-]*\.(\"|')>/i";

preg_match_all($regex, $contents, $matches);
echo "<pre>";print_r($matches);echo "</pre>";

 

Sorry my english.

 

Thanks

<?php

$contents = '<a class=l href="http://www.text.htm"> TESTING </a>';
$regex = '%<a[^>]+href=(["\'])?([^"\'\s>]+)(?(1)\1)>([^<]+)</a>%i';
preg_match_all($regex, $contents, $matches);
echo "<pre>";print_r($matches);echo "</pre>";
?>
