how to extract links and titles from a .html page?

Thank you everyone, I GOT IT!

The final code:

$html = file_get_contents('bookmarks.html');
//Create a new DOM document
$dom = new DOMDocument;

//Parse the HTML. The @ is used to suppress any parsing errors
//that will be thrown if the $html string isn't valid XHTML.
@$dom->loadHTML($html);

//Get all links. You could also use any other tag name here,
//like 'img' or 'table', to extract other tags.
$links = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a');

//Iterate over the extracted links and display their URLs
foreach ($links as $link){
    //Extract and show the "href" attribute.
    echo $link->nodeValue;
    echo $link->getAttribute('href'), '<br>';
}

This shows you the anchor text assigned and the href for all links in a .html file.

Again, thanks a lot.

This is probably sufficient:

$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
foreach ($dom->getElementsByTagName('a') as $node)
{
  echo $node->nodeValue.': '.$node->getAttribute("href")."\n";
}

Assuming the stored links are in a html file the best solution is probably to use a html parser such as PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser (never tried it myself). (The other option is to search using basic string search or regexp, and you should probably never use regexp to parse html).

After reading the html file using the parser use it's functions to find the a tags:

from the tutorial:

// Find all links
foreach($html->find('a') as $element)
       echo $element->href . '<br>';
