Re: Extracting urls from HTML

I think I'd use preg_match_all(). You can see the manual for how it breaks up the array, which is pretty clost to what you're looking for. Something like this regular expression should work, I think. You might have to make changes depending on how you delimit your hrefs. preg_match_all('/<a href="([^"]*)".*>(.*)<\/a>/i', $str, $array); "Srinivasan Ramakrishnan" wrote in message <006d01c03edd$ef752420$ce87c5cb@srinivarmd3>... >Hi, > >I need to extract the list of links from a html file. > >Ideally I will get them into an associative array where the name part equals >the text between <a href...> and </a>, and the value part contains the >actual URL. > >I've been looking at the available string functions, and I can't seem to >find a way.
