I have the following string and need to extract the text inside the div’s (EDITOR’S PREFACE, MORE CONTENT, etc) and put them into an array with php. How could I do this?

Thanks in advance.

<div class='classit'><a href='site.php?site=1&filename=aname4'>EDITOR'S PREFACE</a></div> 
<div class='classit'><a href='site.php?site=4&filename=aname3'>MORE CONTENT</a></div> 
<div class='classit'><a href='site.php?site=3&filename=aname4'>LAST LINE</a></div>

    You could use preg_match_all:

    <?php
$html = <<<HTML
<div class='classit'><a href='site.php?site=1&filename=aname4'>EDITOR'S PREFACE</a></div>
<div class='classit'><a href='site.php?site=4&filename=aname3'>MORE CONTENT</a></div>
<div class='classit'><a href='site.php?site=3&filename=aname4'>LAST LINE</a></div>
HTML;

$result = array();

if (preg_match_all('/>([^><]+)(?=<\/a>)/', $html, $matches))
{
    $result = $matches[1];
}

print_r($result);
