Yeah, regex would be easiest, and there should be plenty out there,
but I might do something like this:
$re = '%
<a[^<>]+ # href may or may not come first
href=([\'"]) # capture single/double quote
# match a valid URI
(
[\w.-]+:(?://)? # scheme
[^?"]+ # authority
# possible query string and fragment
(?:
\\? [^#]+
(?: \\# [^"]+ )?
)?
)
\1 # captured quote from above
[^<>]* # possible remaining attributes
>( .*? ) # allow for nested tags
</a> # closing <a> tag
%xi';
The match for the URI would be in $match[2] and the text for the <a>
tag is in $match[3].
Just use this $re var in the preg_* functions.
Hope this helps,
Curtis
