Could you not use XPaths?

 $dom = new DOMDocument();
 $dom->loadHTML($yourhtmlstring);
 $x = new DOMXpath($dom);
 foreach($x->query("//dl[@class='col1']/dd/a/text()") as $text) echo htmlentity_decode($text);

Try this:

preg_match('/<dd><a[^>]*>(.*)<\/a><\/dd>/', $htmlcode, $matches);
$result = $matches[1];
