PHP CODES

 

<?php

include("advanced_html_dom.php");
$html = file_get_html("https://www.mkekabet.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/");

foreach($html->find("div.app__content ul li") as $a){
echo $a->plaintext;

Use DOMDocument and an XPath query to grab the elements you want.

 

Something like this:

<?php

$html = file_get_contents('http://...');
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

$codeList = $xpath->query('//div[@class="single-event__code"]');
foreach ($codeList as $codeDiv){
    var_dump($codeDiv->textContent);
}

Side-note: In the future, be sure to wrap your posted code inside

tags as I did above, it makes the code more readable and preserves spacing.

 

@kicken I got you bro, so i tried the code and here is how they react, If i want scrap a div that is not inside a unordered list/list item it will be scraped successfully but if i want to scrap a div that is between a list item like

<div class="single-event__code"></div>

it will not be printed out, Any idea?? i tried to go through the link you gave me above but i have found nothing. Below are the codes.

<div class="app_content">
<ul class="js-events-container">...</li>
<li class="single-event live">...</li>
<li class="single-event live">...</li>
<li class="single-event live">...</li>
<li class="single-event live">...</li>
<li class="single-event live">
::before
//First DIV of li
<div class="single-event__code">
Event Code: <strong>96441</strong>
</div>
<div class="single-event__time">
<span class="score js-score">LIVE</span>
<span class="time js-timer"></span>
</div>
<div class="single-event__players">
<a href="/sportsbook/SOCCER/BRAZIL_SERIE_D/400953/">
AA Portuguesa RJ <span> v </span> Audax SP </a>
</div>
<div class="single-event__bets three markets">
