Re: Re: How do I extract link text from anchor tag as well as the URL from the "href" attribute

["Ralph Deffke" <ralph_deffke@xxxxxxxx>]

this worked here:
<?php

$html = new DOMDocument();
$html->loadHtmlFile("testHtml.html");
$links = $html->getElementsByTagName('a');
echo "<pre>";

foreach ($links as $item) {
  echo $item->getAttribute( 'href' ). "\n";
  echo "-------" . $item->nodeValue . "\n";
}

echo "</pre>";

?>

Im sending u the 2 files directly in a minute. it came out, as I thought
earlier that u have to check if the <a> tags has got children to extract
image links.
