ukscotth Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hi, I'm trying to learn how to scrape data using php. I can get the data I need with the following code but I dont know how to split it up into parts so I can style the output. I basically want the title, description etc as seperate variables. Any ideas ? <?php $html = new DOMDocument(); @$html->loadHtmlFile('http://www.merchandizeliquidators.com/category/10/Bed_and_Bath.html?size=1000'); $xpath = new DOMXPath( $html ); $nodelist = $xpath->query(" //img [@class='thumbnail_image']/@src | //a[@class='thumbnail_item_name'] | //div[@class='thumbnail_item_desc'] | //td[@class='price']"); foreach ($nodelist as $n){ echo $n->nodeValue."\n"; echo '<br><br>'; } ?> Many thanks, Scott.
