If you know what text will be acting as a link, here are a couple possiblities that might work eregi("<li><a href=\"http://([^\"]+)">([0-9a-zA-Z- ]+)</a>",$myLine,$temp); eregi("<li><a href=\"http://([^\"]+)">([^<]+)</a>",$myLine,$temp); Both have problems: the first one will only match digits,letters,space, and dash. Second one will be thrown off if you have "<" somewhere in text that acts as a link.
