Hello!

I would like to grab data from a website. What I want is to take the name and time and output it like following:

 

Ayarith 59 seconds

Indirarc 54 seconds

 

The data is taken from an online game with the following link: 

https://medivia.online/community/online/legacy

 

Exemple data from this link:

<li><div class="med-width-25">59 seconds ago</div><div class="med-width-35"><a href="/community/character/Ayarith">Ayarith</a></div><div class="med-width-15">Druid</div><div class="med-width-25 med-text-right med-pr-40">32</div></li>

<li><div class="med-width-25">54 seconds ago</div><div class="med-width-35"><a href="/community/character/Indirarc">Indirarc</a></div><div class="med-width-15">Druid</div><div class="med-width-25 med-text-right med-pr-40">20</div></li>

 

I hope you can help me out!

or there is simple_html_dom EG

include 'simple_html_dom.php';

$str = '
        <body>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <div class="med-width-25">59 seconds ago</div>
                <div class="med-width-35">
                    <a href="/community/character/Ayarith">Ayarith</a>
                </div>
                <div class="med-width-15">Druid</div>
                <div class="med-width-25 med-text-right med-pr-40">32</div>
            </li>

            <li>
                <div class="med-width-25">54 seconds ago</div>
                <div class="med-width-35">
                    <a href="/community/character/Indirarc">Indirarc</a>
                </div>
                <div class="med-width-15">Druid</div>
                <div class="med-width-25 med-text-right med-pr-40">20</div>
            </li>
        </ul>
        </body>
       ';
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load($str);

foreach ($html->find('li div a') as $a) {                      // find link elements that are nested inside a div inside a listitem
    $name = $a->plaintext;
    $time = $a->parent()->parent()->children(0)->plaintext;    // navigate to the enclosing listitem's first div
    echo "<b>$name</b> - $time<br>";
}

outputs

Ayarith - 59 seconds ago
Indirarc - 54 seconds ago
