swraman Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi, Im working on a project where I have to sift through the entire HTML code of a webpage, and extract everything that lies within a certain HTML tag. Essentially, at least as I see it, I need to sort through the entire webpage html source and find all occurrences of a certain html tag. What would be the best way to do this? I want to be sure to do it efficiently as I will be searching through ~2500 lines of html for each time the script is called. Thanks in advance.

swraman Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 by the way I am currently using strstr to find the first occurence of the tag, and calling strstr until it returns false.

jcbones Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 preg_match_all OR DomDocument class OR SimpleHTMLDom class I've used all three, and would suggest the 1st and 3rd. In my experience the 2nd doesn't always like HTML.
