how can i find all the anchor
tags with source pdf
$string="hello this is a dummy text <a href="../../abc.pdf">

in the string variable
Solution
You should use DOMDocument instead of regex:
$string='hello this is a dummy text <a href="../../abc.pdf">';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTML($string);
$href = $doc->getElementsByTagName('a')->item(0)->getAttribute('href');
echo basename($href); // abc.pdf
