Regex for getting alt attribute

Question

Is there any regex to get the alt attribute? Example: <img src="http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/a61df59863ed44e59446d0b9bb805c56.jpg" title="" alt="blahblah" border="0" height="90" width="728">

I want to get the "blahblah" from above image tag.

Don't use regexes for parsing HTML

~~Untested~~ Demo

$string = '<img src="http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/a61df59863ed44e59446d0b9bb805c56.jpg" title="" alt="blahblah" border="0" height="90" width="728">';
$dom = new DOMDocument();
@$dom->loadHTML($string);
$anchor = $dom->getElementsByTagName('img')->item(0);
echo $anchor->getAttribute('alt');
