i want to extract link and link title from this html format..

PHP Code:

<div class="sresult_address">

                            <h2>

                                2.

                                                                        <a href="http://www.mydomain.eu/property-for-sale/Cape-View-House-Restored-Georgian-House-With-Stunning-Sea-Views-London/485539/">

                                            Cape View House, Restored Georgian House With Stunning Sea Views,London                                         </a>

                                                                </h2>

                        </div> 

im looking for a regular expression that will be able to extract these..

This is the one i came up with but doesn't seem to work

PHP Code:

'~<div class="sresult_address"><h2>\s*[0-9]{1,2}[.]\s*<a href="([^"]*)">(.*?)</a></h2></div>~is'; 

Is there something wrong with this?

You might want to try strpos, then trim.

I have seen multiple posts about parsing HTML from your username. If you are scraping sites you might want to be careful about putting other people's content on your own site (assuming you do not have permission).

If you have permission there should be a better way of getting this data for instance a RSS feed or if they have an API you can tie into to get the data cleanly.
