firstly, <a> tags arent the only tags that can have href attributes (the <link> tag also has them).secondly, this will also match href='soemthing' outside of < and >, in which case its not actually a tag.

pass whatever you want to $html it does preg_match on $html

I'm not a fan of parsing HTML with RegExp, but anyway:
$input_string = file_get_contents(
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817449/preg-match-all-problems/2817549"
);
preg_match_all(
'@\\<a\\b[^\\>]+\\bhref\\s*=\\s*"([^"]*)"[^\\>]*\\>@i',
$input_string,
$matches
);
var_dump( $matches ); // inspect for useful information
It expects that all hrefs are enclosed inside ". Won't work otherwise.
