PHP Regex - Find url and text in html anchor tags

Hi there I was wondering whether someone know how to remove both the url and the link text from all anchor tags in a big paragraph of text. once remove if I could store them in an array for later use.

Im sure this is possible but I really struggle with regex.

Hopefully there is someone out there who has came across this before or who has some good knowledge on this.

Thank you

Regex wasn't really designed to be a perfect html parser. Have you tried doing a simpleXML load string?

But for regex, check out these:
