Ninjakreborn Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 This doesn't work. Based off what I have seen online, it is suppose to. Basically, this is what I tried, and the quote is what was returned. I have no idea how to get this to work. It should have been pretty standard based off of the PHP documentation. The Xpath idea I got from someone else. Either way if I try to use find element by id or tag name it still returns an empty array, no matter what. Any advice on what I am doing wrong is appreciated. It doesn't matter what URL I try, none of them seem to work. <?php $school_data = file_get_contents('http://www.infotechnologist.biz'); $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->validateOnParse = true; $doc->loadHTML($school_data); $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc); $tags = $xpath->query('div'); echo '<pre>'; print_r($tags); echo '</pre>'; ?> DOMNodeList Object ( ) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/221802-errors-with-dom-handling/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I tried using that extensively as well as tried many things with HTML Simple Dom. The stuff I am trying to do doesn't seem to be working here. Is it easier/better to parse HTML using Regex and getting what you need as you need it from the pages instead?
