Extract link from specific page/URL

PHP Article

This is a simple function to extract link from a specific page/URL :
function extract_url($main_url){$cek_url = parse_url($main_url);

$prefix_url = $cek_url[‘scheme’].’://’.$cek_url[‘host’];

$f = fopen($main_url,”r”);

$inputStream = fread($f,65535);

fclose($f);

if (preg_match_all(“/(.*?)</a>/i”,$inputStream,$matches)) {

foreach($matches[1] as $link){

if(!eregi(‘mailto:|javascript:|ymsgr:’,$link)){

if(eregi(“https://”,$link)){

$url = $link;

}

else{

$url = $prefix_url.$link;

}

if(eregi(‘PHPSESSID’,$url)){

$url = explode(“PHPSESSID”,$url);

$url = substr($url[0],0,-1);

}

$output[] = $url;

}

}

}

return array_unique($output);

}

?>

And here is sample how to use the function:
$start = time();

print_r(extract_url(“https://dev.sandalian.com/”));

$end = time();echo ‘done in ‘.($end-$start).’ second’;

?>
This script only working when remote_url are allowed. Otherwise you will need to use CURL.
