When using DOM, you can get the link text like this :

$text = $link->textContents;

With the extract_tags() function, it’s also very simple :

$text = $link['contents'];

Fixed the script.

It was a bug in my regexp syntax. The “(?…)” syntax that I used for marking named subgroups apparently only works in some versions of PHP and not others. I’ve rewritten the regexps to use the proper syntax – “(?P…)”.

I got the following error when I tried
$nodes = extract_tags( $string, ‘img’ );

Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (?< at offset 4 in E:\Development Documents\PHP\getattr.php on line 54

You’re right, thanks for spotting it!

You have line in your first example saying:
@$dom->oadHTML($html);

- I guess you mean:
@$dom->loadHTML($html);
