用文本描述替换html链接标记

Question

I've searched around and can't seem to get the right answer. I want to replace all links in a given HTML string like this:

... <a href="link.php">Description Here</a> ...
to:
Description Here: link.php

This is so that non-html email clients can see the link and have the ability to copy and paste them into their browser.

Answer 1

You could do something like this:

$text = '<a href="link.php">Description Here</a>';

$replaced = preg_replace('/<a [^>]*href="(.*)"[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>/', '$2: $1', $text);
