Using Document Object Model to get entire img tag

[beingalex]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm trying to use the DOMDocument to get an entire img tag (from the "<img" to the "/>"). Is this possible ?

I have to get the first img tag that is found in a string of html. Here is what I have so far:

 

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->preseveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
@$dom->loadHTML($post->post_content);
                            
$images = $dom->getElementsByTagName("img");

 

"post_content" definitely returns a string of html with an img tag in it, however all my attemps to get that tag have failed.

 

Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance

foreach ($images as $image) {
    echo $dom->saveXML($image) . PHP_EOL;
}

 

That will echo all of the image tags.
