I need some help in getting the first link in a html file

for example:

$html = '
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3493">2002-11-12</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3475">2002-11-08</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3457">2002-11-07</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3449">2002-11-06</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3429">2002-11-05</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3399">2002-11-04</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3405">2002-11-01</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3367">2002-10-31</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3349">2002-10-30</a></b></td></tr>';

<tr><td> </td></tr>

<tr><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3399">2002-11-04</a></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3405">2002-11-01</a></td></tr>

<tr><td><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3367">2002-10-31</a></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td><a class="lista" href="/index.php?menu=3221&lang=po&id=3349">2002-10-30</a></td></tr>';

$val = explode("</td></tr>",$html);
$val = str_replace("<tr><td>","",$val[0]);
echo $val;
?>

Hey thanks a lot man!

it worked just like i wanted.

php is really a good stuff!

i tried to change to get the just the link to:

$val = explode('<tr><td><b><a class="lista" href="/',$printing[1]); 
$val = str_replace('">2002-12-04</a></b></td></tr>',"",$val[0]); 
echo $val;

but it didn´t worked!

Maybe that's the way to do it:

<?
$val = explode("</a></td></tr>",$printing[1]);
$val = $val[0];
$val = explode("\">",$val);
$linkurl = str_replace("<tr><td><a class=\"lista\" href=\"","",$val[0]);
echo $linkurl;
?>
