.josh Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 are you trying to get info off another site's page or make your own script aware of its own language being used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_member Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I want to get it from any other site. I have Url's of multiple sites and using that i want to get these languages for each site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 well the easiest thing would be to get the page using file_get_contents or cURL and then use the DOM parser to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_member Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 can you give me the example how to parse and get the language of site as well as defined in html tags. I am unable to do it I have used $html = file_get_contents(url of site) What to do next?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I pointed you in the right direction. There are a shitton of tuts out there for scraping pages in general or using DOM. I'm not going to regurgitate that here. If you have some specific issue we'll be happy to help or point you in the right direction, but as it stands now, this sounds like a thinly veiled "write my script for me" request - something we don't do.

Ch0cu3r Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Have a look at the example code @ http://www.phpro.org/examples/Parse-HTML-With-PHP-And-DOM.html Play around with that. Read the documentation for using DOM ( .josh probided a link earlier). You should be able to get lang attribute for the html tag in just a few lines of code. All it takes is for you sit down read documentation testing/playing with examples and then you should be able to implement this yourself.

new_member Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I have used $dom = new DOMDocument();$dom->loadHTML($file);$node = $dom->getElementById("registryData");$output = $dom->saveHTML($node);echo $output; However i have used many other codes like this to parse the data within the html tages like anchor tags, img etc but i cannot find any way to find the language used.

Solution .josh Posted September 23, 2013 Solution Share Posted September 23, 2013 Think about what you are trying to get. Read what getElementById does. Do you think it is going to give you the page language? page language will either be in the html tag or a meta tag, neither of which has an id attribute. You will need to use getElementsByTagName and then loop through them checking for appropriate attributes using getAttribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
