Get specific html tag

Question

Okey, the table row contains this:

<ul>
    <li>
        <img>
    </li>
    <li>
        <img>
    </li>
</ul>

And I need to only get the images out, and theres no other way to retreive these files. I know, its a stupid input. But is there a way to get only the img-tag out?

Do you have to use php? jQuery could do this very very fast with only a few lines of code. — Realitätsverlust, Dec 11 '13 at 13:04
PHP can do this very quickly with only a few lines of code too (as can any other language with a DOM library). — Quentin, Dec 11 '13 at 13:04
1. this is a list, not a table. 2. With what script language do you want get those tags? Javascript or PHP? — Jurik, Dec 11 '13 at 13:07
I dont have to use PHP, If jQuery can do this with a few simple lines, that could help :). Yeah, I know that isnt a table-tag. I mean table as in database — Marius Djerv, Dec 11 '13 at 13:09
Get them out as in: strip them, or get them out as in: retrieve them? — Ronald Swets, Dec 11 '13 at 13:10

I assume this piece of HTML is in one variable and you want to "parse" the result? If so, you could use something like:

preg_match_all('/<img.+?src="(.+)"/', $html, $matches);

In matches you will find the sources (or entire image tags).

You can use strip_tags() to get the specific one or more tags

Syntax:

string strip_tags ( string $str [, string $allowable_tags ] )

Code:

 $text ="<ul>
    <li>
      <img>
    </li>
    <li>
      <img>
    </li>
</ul>";

  echo strip_tags($text, '<img>');

Ref: http://www.php.net/strip_tags

This can be done using regex but thats not a good solution for this,

Use this instead:

echo strip_tags($html, '<img>');

Note: $html contains all the html you want to parse
