Re: [PHP] Re: How do I extract link text from anchor tag as well as the URL from the href attribute
Hello,
You might also want to try using the Raxan framework:
require_once 'raxan/pdi/gateway.php';
$page = new RichWebPage('page.html');
echo $page['a']-text(); // this will get the text betwen the a tag
To get the image element use:
$elm = $page['a img']-node(0);
You can download Raxan here:
http://raxanpdi.com/downloads.html

Hello,
on 08/16/2009 04:33 AM chrysanhy said the following:
I have the following code to extract the URLs from the anchor tags of an
HTML page:
$html = new DOMDocument();
$htmlpage-loadHtmlFile($location);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($htmlpage);
$links = $xpath-query( '//a' );
foreach ($links as $link)
{ $int_url_list[$i++] = $link-getAttribute( 'href' ) . \n; }
If I have a link a href=http://X.com;/a, how do I extract the
corresponding which is displayed to the user as the text of the link
(if it's an image tag, I would like a DOMElement for that).
Thanks
You may want to try this HTML parser class that comes with filter class
and an example script named test_get_html_links.php that does exactly
what you ask.

im not shure which one works on an image link which is indeed a child of a

good practice. an alt attribute to use

It did not work. Both gave me a Call to undefined method fatal error.

Re: [PHP] Re: How do I extract link text from anchor tag as well as the URL from the href attribute
WHile waiting for suggestions for extracting the link text from the DOM, I
tried a brute force approach using the URLs I had found with getAttribute(),
but found myself baffled by my results. I boiled down my issue with this
approach to the following snippet.
$htmldata =EOB

$url = 'http://www.beyondmusic.com/MediaPlayer/Yes/DontGo.html';
$posn = strpos($url, $htmldata);
echo URL |$url| position is |$posn|;
Running this gives me:
URL |http://www.beyondmusic.com/MediaPlayer/Yes/DontGo.html| position is ||
I've tried lots of functions, and even regular expressions, but I cannot get
the code to find the URL in the HTML. While I still hope for a DOM solution
to getting this link text, WHY can't the code find the URL in the HTML
snippet?
