How can I get the text (only the text) that's being linked inside every <span class="fn">                  </span> tag and put them in a array.

By altering the XPath query (the //span thing) so that it only looks in the one table.

 

What Wikipedia page are you looking at?

 

Thank you for your answer. I'm looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C. , I now noticed that there are more than one </table> 's at that page. So maybe I should cut that snippet first using maybe substr?

The XPath for this is quite complex and relies on that there exists a heading in the Wikipedia article called "Players":

 

//span[@id="Players"]/../following-sibling::table[1]//span[@class="fn"]

 

<?php
$file = file_get_contents('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C.', true);
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load($file);
$domxpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
foreach ($domxpath->query("//span[@id="Players"]/../following-sibling::table[1]//span[@class="fn"]") as $a) {
echo $a->textContent;
}
?>

 

Thank for your answer. I think I should start learning XPath syntax.

By the way, do you see any particular problem with this code.

Yeah - use single quotes around the expression :)

 

foreach ($domxpath->query("//span[@id=Players]/../following-sibling::table[1]//span[@class=fn]") as $a) {

 

==>

 

foreach ($domxpath->query('//span[@id=Players]/../following-sibling::table[1]//span[@class=fn]') as $a) {

$dom->load($file);
$domxpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
foreach ($domxpath->query('//span[@id="Players"]/../following-sibling::table[1]//span[@class="fn"]') as $a) {echo $a->textContent};
?>

Interesting, still not working. Is there a module that I must enable?  :confused:

DOMDocument::load() expects a filename, not XML source. Use ::loadHTMLFile().

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTMLFile('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C.');
$domxpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
foreach ($domxpath->query('//span[@id="Players"]/../following-sibling::table[1]//span[@class="fn"]') as $a) {echo $a->textContent;};

Also, a shorter query would be //tr[@class=vcard agent]//span[@class=fn]/ but that includes the "Out on loan" players.

Works perfectly, thanks for your help requinix and silkfire.
