PHP DOM-Document and XPath : fetch class data

[dil_bert]

hello dear community, good day,

 

I've been having an issue trying to parse text in a span cass with DOM. Here is my code example. try to extract some lines out of a webpage - with following technique: with the Extraction of values of attributes of elements with DOMDocument. Here is what i have gathered and learned:

 

$remote = "http://website.com/"; $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc->loadHTMLFile($remote); $xpath = new DOMXpath($doc); $node = $xpath->query('//span[@class="user"]'); echo $node;

 

and this returns the following

 

error -> "Catchable fatal error: Object of class DOMNodeList could not be converted to string". 

 

And now - with this i need help.

 

What I am trying to do is parse the user name between this tag;

 

<div class="widget plugin-meta"> <h3 class="screen-reader-text">Meta</h3>

 

see more below:Here the concrete example view-source: https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/

 

goal  i need the following data:

view-source: https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/

 

Proceedings; i checked the source of the webpage. i tried to find out whether the texte is related to some kind of pattern.i have looked closely and found that all of them have

class=”widget plugin-meta”

. Well - This will make extracting them, a piece of cake. I tried with the code below helps to filter html elements based on values of attributes.

but unfortunatley this ends up in a bad result; i need a helping hand and need to know how to parse the above mentioned data

Again; the goal: i need the following data:

I ignored everything in your post after the first few lines because it looked like unnecessary background information irrelevant to the question.

$node is an object. You cannot simply echo it. Do something else.
