Answer 1

You must use DOMDocument or XPath . RegEx is usually not recommended for HTML parsing.

Answer 2

Use regex:

/setList1\(([0-9]+)\)[^>]+title="([^"]+)"/si

and preg_match () or preg_match_all ()

Answer 3

, HTML DOM.

XPath, :

//a/text()

XPath, title :

//a/@title

XPath, onclick :

//a/@onclick

You will need to use some string function to extract the number from the onclick text.

Answer 4

To date, the best lib for curettage is a simple html dom. mainly uses jquery selector syntax.

http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

How do you get the data in this example:

include("simple_html_dom.php");
$dom=str_get_html("page.html");
$text=$dom->find(".lftFlt1 a.contentSubHead",0)->plaintext;
//or 
$text=$dom->find(".lftFlt1 a.contentSubHead",0)->title;

Answer 5

I did it this way

$a=$coll->find('div[class=lftFlt1]');
$text=$element->find("a[class=cursor]",0)->onclick;
