how to ignore the tags?

[mark107]

I need some help with my PHP, I'm to parsing the href contents using DOMDocument.

 

I have the list of url that I'm parsing only for the website link even I want to ignore the `<a id="aTest" href="` tags.

 

Here is the input:

 

http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=test 1&id=101

http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=test 2&id=102

http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=test 3&id=103

rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://ny.iguide.to/edge playpath=49f5xnbs2wra0ut swfUrl=http://player.ilive.to/player_ilive_2.swf pageUrl=http://www.ilive.to token=UYDk93k#09sdafjJDHJKAD873

 

 

Here is the output:

 

<a href='http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=test 1&id=101'></a></p><a id="aTest" href="">Stream 1</a><br><br>

    <a href='http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=test 2&id=102'></a></p><a id="aTest" href="">Stream 1</a><br><br>

    <a href='http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=test 3&id=103'></a></p><a id="aTest" href="rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://ny.iguide.to/edge playpath=49f5xnbs2wra0ut swfUrl=http://player.ilive.to/player_ilive_2.swf pageUrl=http://www.ilive.to token=UYDk93k#09sdafjJDHJKAD873">Stream 1</a><br><br>

 

 

Here is the PHP:

 

    <?php

    ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

    $errmsg_arr = array();

    $errflag = false;

    

    $xml .= '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>';

    $xml .= '

    <tv generator-info-name="www.mysite.com/xmltv">';

    

    $baseUrl = file_get_contents('http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php');

    

    $domdoc = new DOMDocument();

    $domdoc->strictErrorChecking = false;

    $domdoc->recover=true;

    //@$domdoc->loadHTMLFile($baseUrl);

    @$domdoc->loadHTML($baseUrl);

    

    $links = $domdoc->getElementsByTagName('a');

    $data = array();

    foreach($links as $link)

    {

      //echo $domdoc->saveXML($link);

      if($link->getAttribute('href'))

      {

        $url = str_replace(" ", "%20", $link->getAttribute('href'));

        $url = str_replace("rtmp://", "", $link->getAttribute('href'));

      }

    }

    ?>

 

 

Can you please tell me how I can parsing the contents as only for `<a href='http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php` while ignoring the other contents especially `<a id="aTest" href="`?

 

Does anyone know how?

You could add an if condition which checks for links with the "id" attribute...or an "id" attribute with a specific value ("aTest").

cyberRobot: yeah so how I can only get the links with href without getting the aTest id?

Note that the following code is untested, but you could try the following:

<?php
if($link->getAttribute('href'))
{
     if(!$link->hasAttribute('id') || $link->getAttribute('id')!='aTest')
     {
          $url = str_replace(" ", "%20", $link->getAttribute('href'));
          $url = str_replace("rtmp://", "", $link->getAttribute('href'));
     }
}
?>

Thank you very much for that, I can see it is working now.

 

Cheers for the help!!!
