peeps Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I was trying to read in a web page from another site and all I want to look at is the div tag with a certain id. I am able to get the element by using echo $dom->getElementById('menubox')->tagName; but all that tells me is that its a div tag. How do I print out what is in that div tag? $dom = new DOMDocument; $dom->validateOnParse = true; @$dom->loadHTMLFile("myFileSomewhere.html"); echo $dom->getElementById('menubox')->tagName; Thanks for the help.
