Hi guys,
If I have a list of words like..
Code: Select all
<font>Hey This</font><br/>
<div>No no..</div>
<a href="test.php">adasd</a>
Is there a way to extract the link test.php out from the contents in php?

The dark art of regular expressions could be your friend.
http://php.net/pcre describes native PHP solutions. There are also plenty of tutorials that help with creating an appropriate regexp to extract data from strings.

I love it!
Another way of doing it would be to load it into SimpleXML... Check out
