How to isolate specific hyperlinks from a website(using simple html dom php). for example below script were i want only the link which have the bolded path with http://www.website.com/release/…

<a class="blue" href="/releases/2012.htm">release of ---</a>
<a class="blue" href="/releases/1/2012.htm">release of ---</a>

and links which has a subdomain (news) in it

 <a class="blue" href="http://news.website.com/one/1">release of ---</a>

and also is there any way to isolate a specific link from a website and go inside that specific link and fetch its title and description

Answer 1

Normally you’d just iterate over all of the links, checking to see if each one matches your conditions, and if so, grab the data you want from it.

foreach($html->find('a') as $link) {
    if(substr($link->href, 0, 10) == "/releases/") {
        // do stuff with a releases link
    }

    // and so on
}
