REGEXP , help someone

[bguzel]

i have a file called 1.htm which has this text:

1. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/01.mp3">Baby
   One More Time</a><br>
2. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/02.mp3">(You
   Drive Me) Crazy</a><br>
3. <a
   href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/03.mp3">Sometimes</
   a><br>
4. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/04.mp3">Soda
   Pop</a><br>
5. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/05.mp3">Born
   To Make You Happy</a><br>
6. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/06.mp3">From
   The Bottom Of My Broken Heart</a><br>
7. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/07.mp3">I
   Will Be There</a><br>
8. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/08.mp3">I
   Will Still Love You</a><br>
9. <a href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/09.mp3">Deep
   In My Heart</a><br>
10. <a
    href="http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/10.mp3">Thinkin
    About You</a><br>

What i wanna do is to read the file and store all the url's and the song
names in an array where $songs[$songname] = $url
for example $songs["Baby One More Time"] will have the value
http://mp3a.attin.com/English/female/Britneyspears/01.mp3

i tried several things but i always got problems with regular expression
operations, and i am not even sure if i made any mistakes while reading the
file content.
can somebody please write the coding for my problem?

try this kludge

$html = join("",file("1.html"));

$html = str_replace('<a href="','',$html);
$html = str_replace('</a>','|',$html);
$html = preg_replace("'[0-9]{1,4}.'",'',$html);

$rows = explode("<br>",$html);

for($x=0;$x<count($rows))
{
$s = explode("|",$rows[$x]);
$songs[$x][$s[0]] = $s[1];
}

I know, I know, this is a kludge, but it should (warning! untested code!) work.

Less kludge, and just for the fun of regexp :

$nb=preg_match_all('/<a href="(.)">(.)<\/a>/Usi',$html,$a);
for($i=0;$i<$nb;$i++)
$songs[$a[2][$i]]=$a[1][$i];
