How to change url in html parser

Question

I have this code that output all url with ?tid=someNumbers

<?php
include 'simple_html_dom.php';
// Create DOM from URL or file
$html = file_get_html('http://news.sinchew.com.my/node');


// Find all links 
foreach($html->find('a') as $element) {
       $tid = '?tid';
       $url = 'news.sinchew.com.my/node';
       if(strpos($element->href,$tid) && (strpos($element->href,$url))) {
           echo $element->href . '<br>';
       }
}
?>

What i wanted to do is change ?tid=someNumbers to ?tid=1234 and then output all url with ?tid=1234 . I stuck here for hours,can someone help me with this?

what criteria does the href attribute have to meet?

Try preg_replace to perform substitutions based on regular expressions:

<?php

//...

echo preg_replace("/\\?tid=[0-9]+/", "?tid=1234", $element->href);

//...

?>
