    /* Find all Anchors */
    $anchors = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a');
    foreach ($anchors as $anchor) {
        $href = $anchor->getAttribute('href');

            $uids[] = str_replace($match, '', $href);
        }
    }

    /* Found Facebook Users */
    if (!empty($uids)) {

        /* Return Unique UIDs */
        $uids = array_unique($uids);

        /* Show Results */
        foreach ($uids as $uid) {

            /* Profile Picture */
            echo '';

        }

    }

}
