I'm working on a script which have to extract all a tags from a URL but not only the value from a tag, I mean all a tag code like this:
<a href="test">Text</a>
I find something with preg_match_all but this only extract the values from href, title, etc, not the entire a tag code. What should I make?
you can use a html parser : A HTML DOM parser written in PHP5+ let you manipulate HTML in a very easy way!
Use Simplehtmldom library to get data from url
// Include the library
include('simple_html_dom.php');
// Retrieve the DOM from a given URL
$html = file_get_html('http://davidwalsh.name/');
// Find all "A" tags and print their HREFs
foreach($html->find('a') as $e)
echo $e->href . '<br>';
// Retrieve all images and print their SRCs
foreach($html->find('img') as $e)
echo $e->src . '<br>';
