Scraping Data & Splitting into Variables

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.
