parsing with simple html dom

[greenheart]

 

hello I am searching for all instances of tags with the EXACT class "hello" using simple_html_dom class

 

foreach($html->find('.hello')as $found

 

The above doesn't quite do this because it also gives me classes like "hello world". It is simple yes to count through and list the correct element from the array but the source html that is being parsed changes so that's not practical.

 

Any ideas how to find an exact term for the class?

 

Thanks

Figured it out myself

How did you achieve it? I am trying to accomplish the same.

 

Thanks in advance

well, technically it's working as intended.

 

<div class="hello world">

$elems = $html->find('.hello');

This will return that div because "hello world" is not one class. It's 2 separate classes, "hello" and "world". So perhaps you meant to ask for it to return elements that only contain one class ("hello")?

 

If that is the case, I think what you want to do is (untested)

 

$elems = $html->find('*[class=hello]');

Edit: Just noticed that you rezzed an old thread, prueba. So I added what should work for you, since it's unlikely the OP will be responding.
