<div>
<span class="dark_text">Type:</span>
<a href="https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=var1">var2</a></div>~
I need to make preg match all the variable var2 regardless of what is written in var 1
example:
preg_match_all('!<a href="https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=var1">(.*?)</a></div>',$result,$match);
This response is based on the question before editing .
Just use:
/<a href="https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/topanime.php\?type=var1">(.*?)<\/a><\/div>/
It is necessary to escape / and ? , otherwise it will not work. So it will get the (.*?) that is between the string.
preg_match_all('/<a href="https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/topanime.php\?type=var1">(.*?)<\/a><\/div>/',$result,$match);
var_dump($match);
Result:
array(2) {
[0]
array(1) {
[0]
string(71) "<a href="https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=var1">var2</a>"
}
[1]
array(1) {
[0]
string(4) "var2"
}
}
Also consider looking for DOMDocument , so you can find other options.
