Don't use regex to parse HTML, instead use something like DOMDocument.

<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();

$dom->loadHtml('
<tr class="ipl-zebra-list__item">
    <td class="ipl-zebra-list__label">Official Sites</td>
    <td>
        <ul class="ipl-inline-list">
            <li class="ipl-inline-list__item">
                <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/super-troopers-2">IndieGoGo page</a>
            </li>
            <li class="ipl-inline-list__item">
                <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SuperTroopersMovie/">Official site</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </td>
</tr>
', LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED | LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

$arr['sites1'] = [];
foreach ($xpath->query("//li[@class=\"ipl-inline-list__item\"]/a") as $link) {
    $href = $link->getAttribute('href');

    $arr['sites1'][] = $href;
}

print_r($arr['sites1']);

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/super-troopers-2
    [1] => https://www.facebook.com/SuperTroopersMovie/
)

im dont use DOM.. im use regex to make work my plugin on worpdress — Adeeva Ameera, Mar 25 '18 at 03:58
Ok, but you should definitely look into using it if you want your plugin to continue to work. Parsing HTML with regex is troublesome. — Lawrence Cherone, Mar 25 '18 at 04:00
