Sort Script - Extract links, and sort (regex)

[kidkurious]

I have a script that will read web file, extract the hyperlinks and sort them in alphabetical order.

It works fine, but not the way I want.

I want to change the script so that it will extract the text link as well.

//sortlinks.php

<?php
    $matches= array();
    $page = file_get_contents("reviews.htm");
    $pattern = "/((?<=href=')).*?(?=')/i";
    preg_match_all($pattern,$page,$matches);
 
    $links[] = $matches[0];
 
    sort($links);
 
    $nlinks = $links[0];
    sort($nlinks);
 
    foreach ($nlinks as $l)
        echo '<a href="' . $l . '">' . $l . "</a><br />\n";
?>
 

//reviews.htm the comments are to let you know the url of the links.
- alink // directory/alink.htm
- clink // director/clink.htm
- blink // director/blink.htm

Right now, the output I'm getting is

directory/alink.htm
directory/blink.htm
directory/clink.htm

This is what I want (hyperlinks directing to their urls):
alink
blink
clink

I suspect we have to change something in $pattern.
I've tried a lot of things, but I keep getting errors.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
