DOM is preferred to be used here, as regex is difficult to maintain if underlying HTML changes, besides, DOM can deal with invalid HTML and provides you access to other HTML parsing related tools.

So, assuming that have a file that contains HTML, and you are searching for classes, this could be the way to go:

$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->load(PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE);
//we will use Xpath to find all a containing your class, as a tag can have more than one class and it's just easier to do it with Xpath. 
$xpath = new DOMXpath($doc);
$list = $xpath->query("//a[contains(@class, 'page1')]"); 
foreach ($list as $a_tag) {
    $href = $a_tag->getAttribute('href');
    //do something
}

You lack the expertise to use a regular expression for that. Hencewhy using DOMdocument is the advisable solution here. If you want to have a simpler API then use the jQuery-lookalikes phpQuery or QueryPath:

$link = qp($html)->find("a#page1")->attr("href");
print $link;

Edit Edited since you clarified the question.

To get all <a> links with the class .page1:

// Load the HTML from a file
$your_HTML_string = file_get_contents("html_filename.html");

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($your_HTML_string);

// Then select all <a> tags under #page1
$a_links = $doc->getElementsByTagName("a");

foreach ($a_links as $link) {
  // If they have more than one class, 
  // you'll need to use (strpos($link->getAttribute("class"), "page1") >=0)
  // instead of == "page1"

  if ($link->getAttribute("class") == "page1") {
    // do something
  }
}
