An easier way:
If your HTML code is already standards compliant, just filter your string like this:

function anchors_demand_ids($str){
return preg_replace('#<a (?![^>]*id *= *")(.*?)name="(.*?)"(?![^>]*id *= *")(.*?)>#', '<a \\1id="\\2" name="\\2"\\3\\4>', $str);
}

i’ve quickly tested it with:

$big_str=’
<a href="sadasd" name="1" rel="1">sadasd</a>

<a href="sadasd" id="2" name="2" rel="2">sadasd</a>

<a href="sadasd" name="3" rel="3">sadasd</a>

<a href="sadasd" name="2" rel="2" id="2">sadasd</a>
‘;
print anchors_demand_ids($big_str);

seems to be fine :)

PS: please delete my previous comment as it has no html chars.

Your last sentence reads, “Before enabling SmoothScroll, I look for all anchors and *an* ID attribute that mirrors the anchor’s name.”

Did you mean “and add” instead of “and an”?
