From it you need to pull out the title and the link itself, take between quotes with the help of the named parts of the template. Here is just the title and still does not work .. how to write correctly?

  $pattern7='#<a class="history-item product" title="(?<Cost2>.*)".*#Ui';

    • Thanks, but I didn’t understand what this means <a [^>] * ^ - is this the inventive, does it turn out a after it is not> repeated 0 or more times? Why is this construction so necessary? You can do without it .. - Vyacheslav Potapov
    • This allows you to bypass other attributes in the tag facing the title, because the title will not always be immediately there or the class = "history-item product" will not always (protect against data loss), and this design allows you to search in the description of this tag, if the description does not have this attribute, then preg_match will skip it as not matching the pattern. - kingNothing
    • If you use sets of any characters. * As <a. * Title ..., then you can run into <a class = "lalala"> </a> <p title = "bububu" ... </ p> ... <a href = "gg" ..., which is not what is desired. [^>] * such a construction guarantees a result in any case, whether there are attributes in front of the title or not in the tag description. - kingNothing
