    <li class="arrow previous unavailable"><a href="#listable"><i></i></a></li>
    <li class="current"><a href="http://blablaa.com/1">1</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://blablaa.com/2">2</a></li>
    <li class="arrow next"><a href="http://blablaa/2#listable" class="next"><i></i></a></li>
</ul>


preg_match('#<ul class="pagination">(.*?)</ul>#msi', $result['result'], $pagination);
print_r($pagination);
preg_match_all('#<li>.*?</li>#msi', $pagination[1], $pages);

for ($i = 1; $i <= count($pages[0]) + 1; $i++) {
    $link = $baselink . "/" . $i;
}

echo $link;

but not result.Please help me, thanks.

Are you trying to read that HTML using PHP as if it was JavaScript/jQuery?! That ain't gonna work : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13840429/what-is-the-difference-between-client-side-and-server-side-programming — CD001, Jun 16 '17 at 15:08

You start you regular expression with

<ul class="pagination">

and your HTML starts with

<ul class="pagination ng-scope">

which is clearly not a match for the expression. Change <ul class="pagination"> to <ul class="pagination.*"> to start getting matches.

If you want the page numbers, you can use '#<a[^>]*>(\d+)</a>#msi' regex, which collects all the numbers within an <a> tag. example

preg_match('#
#msi', $result['result'], $pagination); This also gives an error

You can try this: `preg_match_all('#]*>(\d+)#msi', $result['result'], $pagination);` This will give you all number that is located within an tag. – Laposhasú Acsa Jun 16 '17 at 15:05
Thanks its work but I forgot to say, I m use to curl with php. After Html has too many ul. So I have to put selector class name. How can we do @Laposhasu – bado57 Jun 16 '17 at 15:18
Your original idea is good. First find the ul tag, then find the page numbers in it – Laposhasú Acsa Jun 16 '17 at 15:23
Be aware that your original code find ul-tags with `pagination` class but in your html there is `pagination ng-scope`. – Laposhasú Acsa Jun 16 '17 at 16:39
