Get Div's attribute values using PHP

Question

Hi i want to get Div's attribute value from a HTML content without using DOMDocument in PHP. here is my code:

<?php
$html = <<<HTML
  <div class='viewBuyButt' onclick="javascript:window.location='https://somelink.com?sdf=fhasldfss';return false;"></div>
HTML;        
?>

OUTPUT Expected:

https://somelink.com?sdf=fhasldfss

I tried with:

<?php
$pattern = '/<div class="viewBuyButt".*\sonclick="(.*?)">/';
preg_match($pattern, $html, $viewAllLink);
var_dump($viewAllLink);// but not getting output

any help will be greatly appreciated.

What is wrong with DOM? It is intended to do this. RegExp is not a big hammer and if it is, not everything is a nail. Anyways, you can go with SimpleXML or XMLReader as an alternative. Click — Pred

Try this:

$html = <<<HTML
<div class='viewBuyButt' onclick="javascript:window.location='https://1.com';return false;"></div>
<div class='No-viewBuyButt' onclick="javascript:window.location='https://mahdiy.ir';return false;"></div>
<div class='viewBuyButt' >onclick="javascript:window.location='https://2.com';return false;"></div>
<div class='viewBuyButt' onclick="javascript:window.location='http://3.com';return false;"></div>
HTML;

preg_match_all("/class='viewBuyButt'((?!(\>|\<)).)*location='(.*)'/", $html, $viewAllLink);
print_r( $viewAllLink );

could you pls add class name also in the preg_match, its critical for me. It should only get location attribute of div with class=viewBuyButt
