nope? unfortunately can”t get it to show correct code, but in this code have also taken the care if the href tag is not just after the a tag, the code i have tested works great.

Hope webmaster can fix this so that others may benifit from it

sorry the code is just messed up will try to post again with pre tags, if it works

$regex = '#((?:(?!).)*)#i';

$string = ''; // however you like get your string for input

preg_match_all($regex,$string,$matches);
print_r($matches);

well this looks to be quite old post, but just in case some one like me comes here searching for a preg_match_all code for extracting links, here is what i finally came up with.

$regex = ‘#((?:(?!).)*)#i’;

$sting = “”; //get your data from anywhere and any how you like

preg_match_all($regex,$string,$matches);
print_r($matches);

This code properly extracts all the links, with the text between the tag.

Hope its helpful to some one like me

By the way thanks a lot to you all guys, this post was also a climbing step for me to achive my goal.

I am having a major problem, with my web site. I edited a php file, and now that page will not load. The rest of the site works fine, just that page. I have backup of those php files, so i reloaded that page, still does not work. Is there other files that are capable of corrupting when updating a php file.

Thanks so much

Tim
