Hi, I have a php code that is used to find all the images in a website using simple_html_dom. When I tried to run it, this error occured:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\myPHP\index.php on line 20

 

This is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
include_once("simple_html_dom.php");
//use curl to get html content
function getHTML($url,$timeout)
{
       $ch = curl_init($url); // initialize curl with given url
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]); // set  useragent
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // write the response to a variable
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); // follow redirects if any
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); // max. seconds to execute
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1); // stop when it encounters an error
       return @curl_exec($ch);
}
$html=getHTML("http://www.website.com",10);
// Find all images on webpage
foreach($html->find("img") as $element)
echo $element->src . '<br>';
 
?>

</body>
</html>

I have the simple_html_dom.php file in my directory. How can I correct this? thanks

You aren't actually using simple_html_dom. You grab the page using curl and put it in $html, but $html is not a simple_html_dom object.  It's just a string.

 

Either use the simple_html_dom function, file_get_html(url) instead of using your custom curl function, or, pass $html that you retrieve using getHTML() to the simple_html_dom function str_get_html($html). Then you can use the find method.

$html = file_get_html('http://www.website.com');
foreach($html->find("img") as $element) ...

or

$html=getHTML("http://www.website.com",10);
$html = str_get_html($html);
foreach($html->find("img") as $element) ...
