Get 2 strings from a string - PHP

I am new to the PHP, need to get "url" and "description" from following string.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhnVcAC5bIM">Official: Desi Kalakaar Full VIDEO Song | Yo Yo Honey Singh | Honey Singh New Songs 2014</a>

Any help.

A better way to go about it would be to use the SimpleXMLElement class:

$str = '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhnVcAC5bIM">Official: Desi Kalakaar Full VIDEO Song | Yo Yo Honey Singh | Honey Singh New Songs 2014</a>';

$elem = new SimpleXMLElement($str);

$url = $elem->attributes();
$url = $url["href"];

$description = $elem->__toString(); // or just $elem.

echo "URL: " . $url;
echo "<br>";
echo "Description: " . $description;
